I've been trying to get my python script distributed to other for a while now, have tried py2app etc. Finally seem to have made the most progress with CX_Freeze. It completes building the app with a simple helloworld wxpython script from cx_freeze but fails with my script. It fails with this traceback:

When I run setup.py on the other script supplied by cx_freeze team it builds fine, here is part of the traceback:

Any insight would be fantastic!
