I'm having problems with py2exe

[josh001]

Hey, in an earlier question I asked why gui2exe wasn't working.
Since then I've tried a couple of things but haven't found out much. Only that the problem has something to do with the sets module which py2exe is accessing.

I tried,

import py2exe

and got,

Warning (from warnings module):
  File "C:\Program Files\Python25\lib\site-packages\py2exe\build_exe.py", line 16
    import sets
DeprecationWarning: the sets module is deprecated

Then I tried,

import sets

and got,

Warning (from warnings module):
  File "__main__", line 1
DeprecationWarning: the sets module is deprecated

But when I looked at the code for the sets module, I couldn't figure out what was wrong. (what does python mean by deprecated, by the way?)

If anyone knows why this is happening, I really appreciate it.

The sets module has been deprecated since version 2.6. From the Python docs: "Deprecated since version 2.6: The built-in set/frozenset types replace this module."

The definition of deprecated: "In computer software standards and documentation, the term deprecation is applied to software features that are superseded and should be avoided."

umm, ok.
Is there any way to make py2exe work? Maybe by changing the code? Or is there an update that works on vista?

Thank,
Joshua
