Aside: py2exe is used for packaging up Python fully-tested production-ready scripts so that they can be run as stand-alone executables in environments where the BOsFH won't let you install Python. You don't *need* py2exe to run a Python script. It is *not* a "compiler"; it doesn't make your script run faster. As you are "brand new to Python", you may want to postpone your investigation of py2exe for a little while. > > So installed everything on my laptop (windows me) and it all works fine. It's nice to know that it "works fine" on your laptop. However palantirs exist only in the story-books; so that we can help you with the platform on which it *doesn't* work, could you possibly divulge: which version of Windows, which version of Python, what "trying to install" means, what example/script you were trying to run, what the import error was [copy/paste], ... > Has anyone seen this before?

Typically, the module's setup.py would handle this. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
