It is normal, because they refer to the location of the source-files, which are needed for stacktraces (or at least something like that) But execution itself is independent from this. > Is this normal, > or am I doing something completely wrong ? Dunno anything about py2exe, but it sure sounds a bit awkward what you do - changing locations of files after installation is calling for trouble in lots of software. But I might not have understood what you actually did - and "doesn't" run isn't helping much in that regard..... Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
