py2exe does not work with the standard email module

Hello. I am trying to use py2exe for converting a script into an exe. The build process shows this:

The following modules appear to be missing

[’email.Encoders’, ’email.Generator’, ’email.Iterators’, ’email.MIMEBase’, ’email.MIMEMultipart’, ’email.MIMEText’, ’email.Utils’, ’email.base64MIME’]

The executable does not work. The referenced modules are not included. I researched this on the Internet and I found out that py2exe has a problem with the Lazy import used in the standard lib email module. Unfortunately I have not succeeded in finding a workaround for this problem. Can anyone help?

Thank you,

P.S. Imports in the script look like this:

Code: Select all import string,time,sys,os,smtplib from email.MIMEMultipart import MIMEMultipart from email.MIMEBase import MIMEBase from email.MIMEText import MIMEText from email import Encoders

  1. If you don’t have to work with py2exe, bbfreeze works better, and I’ve tried it with the email module. http://pypi.python.org/pypi/bbfreeze/0.95.4
