[Pythonmac-SIG] simple setup.py-for-Windows question

[Charles Hartman]

Sorry, simpleton time again! I've gotten the Mac app to build OK with 
py2app, but now I'm trying to get my newest project ready for first 
tests on Windows and running into a problem. My setup.py contains the 
line
		data_files = ['ScansionDictionary'],
and one of my modules contains the line
		self.Dict = pickle.load(open('ScansionDictionary', 'rU'))
On Mac, this combination puts the data file inside Resources (inside 
Contents inside my app's bundle). On Windows it puts the file in the 
same ('dist') directory as the executable. (Is there a better, more 
integrated way to do it on Windows?) And when I try to run the 
executabble the pickle.load line generates this: "LookupError: no codec 
search functions registered: can't find encoding". How do I fix this?

Maybe a connnected question: what is the relation between the 
'data_files' argument in a setup.py file (as ordained by distutils), 
and the 'resources' option to py2app?
