I think that is related to the codecs functionality.  I ran into a
similar problem when trying to use 4suite + wxPython.  I traced it
down to the codecs module trying to dynamically __import__ the utf-8
charset.

To get cx_Freeze to pick it up, I added a kludge:

  import encodings.utf_8

to my main module.  This works well enough since utf_8 is the only
thing I support.
