Just wondering, how are you turning it into an executable?  Are you using
McMillian's Installer program?

Ah, ok, so it appears that you're using McMillian's Installer program.  
Have you tried py2exe?  I've heard that it's a lot easier to work
with.  py2exe can be found here:

    http://py2exe.sourceforge.net/

I have not been able to find this file as part of the standard module
library; does anyone know what impututil.py does?  The closest I've found
to it is "imputil.py".  And even then, I don't see a reference to time
within that file either.

Try out py2exe first, and tell us if that works for you.  Good luck!
