Hmm, that error seems to be related to a problem that someone else
noticed. If you can grab the latest from Subversion for
cx_Freeze/dist.py then this problem should go away. You can also just
add "None," to the end of line 80 in that file.
Once that is done, things might work out for you. If not, you can take
a look at the include_files option which will place files in the build
directory. I believe data_files might only be intended for
documentation or other files that are included with the distribution
but not actually used in the application -- but I might be wrong. :)
