Path Module and Py2exe

[Fuzzyman]

Has anyone succesfully used py2exe with the (excellent) path module by
Jason Orendorff ?

I use it regularly but tried to 'bundle' one of my applications that
used it with py2exe last night. It failed with a 'maximum recursion
depth' error in module finder - the full error report is below. It's
obviously got some kind of 'cylical' error in the module importing
code - which it isn't catching. I finally managed to isolate path as
the source of the problem.

A simple script that imports path and just prints path.getcwd() fails
with the same error when I try to 'compile' it (I know, I know..)
using py2exe.

Unfortunately - if unresolvable - this will stop me using the module.

I wondered if anyone had seen this before, or had any suggestions as
to how to overcome this ?
