Py2exe & (Py)QT4

[shane.external]

I'm having trouble using Py2exe with a PyQT-based python project. Or
possibly I'm having a problem with PyQT and Py2exe makes it apparent.
Whichever it is, I run into trouble with importing QtCore and QtGui.
The error reported is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "xmlEdit.py", line 3, in ?
File "PyQt4\QtCore.pyc", line 12, in ?
File "PyQt4\QtCore.pyc", line 10, in __load
ImportError: DLL load failed: Invalid access to memory location.

Line 10 is the import of QtCore.pyd, which is included in the dist
folder. Curiously, this is the same error I get when I input "from
PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui" into IDLE, so I'm not even sure it's a
Py2exe issue. I'm not quite sure what the error means, only that it
isn't that the file is not found (a Module Not Found error occurs if I
remove QtCore.pyd).

It run just fine from the command line. Can anyone shed some light on
this? QT version is 4.1.3. Python is 2.4.3 and PyQT is 4.0.1.

I don't use Windows, so I can only guess at what the problem is.
Maybe the libraries that QtCore.pyd depends on aren't available,
or they are in a place that the import machinery doesn't know
about.

I can only suggest looking in the py2exe Wiki:

http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/moin.cgi/Py2Exe

I tried searching for similar report but only found this one

http://groups.google.com/group/comp....317974fd73ea88

that might help you diagnose the problem.
