Marc,

I already replied to the private email you sent me without seeing this
one. Maybe this bug report is also related (if you're using the py2exe
0.5 version, with Python 2.3):
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=819615&group_id=15583&atid=115583>

But I'm not really sure if it works or not.
