Hi there! And thanks for the work on pyinstaller. Coming from py2exe, pyinstaller seems like a considerably improvement.
I tried to post this on the issue tracker, but keep getting 500 errors. I'm new to pyinstaller, and looks like I downloaded it right at the time 1.5rc1 was released. The issue is foreign characters in usernames on Windows. It appears to be a problem on iu.py:153, where the user's home directory is tried. Might be possible to work around by decoding the path to unicode from sys.getfilesystemencoding(), but since I don't use any zip imports in my code I just added another exception for UnicodeEncodeError. Simple to test - create a new user and put some foreign characters in their name, then try to run your app. One other thing while I'm here - I noticed that builds from 1.5rc1 can't be profiled in dependency walker. DW appears to get into an infinite loop after loading pythoncom27.dll. If I move this file from the dist directory then the profile completes, but the app doesn't work then. Not sure if it's a DW issue or a pyinstaller issue, but thought it worth mentioning.
