[Spambayes] Compiling sb_filter on Win32

[manoj.ku]

Hi Tony,

I've been trying to do exactly the same thing as Joshua was in this 
thread 
(http://mail.python.org/pipermail/spambayes/2004-October/015033.html), 
to compile sb_filter.py into an exe on Win32. I have Python 2.5 
installed and my setup script is in a file called setupsb_filter.py :

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

setup(console=['sb_filter.py'])

When I run
    python setupsb_filter.py py2exe
I get a similar message saying that some of the following modules appear 
to be missing. The missing modules include email.Errors, 
email.Generator, email.Message, email.Parser, email.Utils, among others.

When i run the resulting sb_filter.exe from the dist directory, I get an 
error saying

Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "sb_filter.py", line 83, in <module>
    File "spambayes\hammie.pyc", line 4, in <module>
    File "spambayes\mboxutils.pyc", line 27, in <module>
    File "mailbox.pyc", line 1294, in <module>
    File "email\__init__.pyc", line 79, in __getattr__
    File "email\message.pyc", line 86, in <module>
    File "email\message.pyc", line 784, in Message
    File "email\__init__.pyc", line 79, in __getattr__
ImportError: No module named iterators.

Any ideas on how i can fix the exe?

Thanks,
Manoj Ku.
