Apparently, PyInstaller only supports versions of Python between 1.5
and 2.4:

http://www.pyinstaller.org/#Requirements

So, you are using it in an unsupported environment. I see you've cross-
posted this to the PyInstaller mailing list:

http://groups.google.com/group/PyInstaller

I hope someone on that list can help. An additional bit of information
from your traceback is that line 272 in 2.6's logging/__init__.py is
one that says "from multiprocessing import current_process". As this
line is only executed if logging.logMultiProcessing is set, you may be
able to work around by setting logging.logMultiProcessing to False in
your app initialisation. Of course, this might just result in a
failure somewhere else...
