This info lead me to the following in Py2exe site: http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/moin.cgi/EncodingsAgain

/*
"In py2exe 0.5, if the encodings are not found in the built exe, add these two to the /includes/:
'encodings', 'encodings.*'
You can do this by adding a line
options = {"py2exe": {"packages": ["encodings"]}}, 
to your setup.py file."
*/

Here is my setup.py
/*
# setup.py
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(console=["XferUpdFileOnWeb.py"])
options = {"py2exe": {"packages": ["encodings"]}}, 
options = {"py2exe": {"packages": ["encodings.*"]}},
*/

Running Py2exe with options added to setup produced the error again about a missing codec.

Here is the last line copy from the dos prompt:

"LookupError: no codec search functions registered: can't find encoding"
