There is probably some hack we can do to fix this (like importing it manually somewhere so py2exe can find it). I've committed this change, so maybe it will work now without the manual import in the app. @Lenard: do you think this would be ok to do? > -- Russell > > P.S.

Are you able to get some testing for that binary by someone on a separate machine to yours? Does it pass all of the tests? We need to make sure binaries get some testing before we put them up there. If you have a bitbucket username, I can add you so that you can upload files onto there. We are moving to hosting the files on there, and having the main website sync from there. cheers,
