[pygame] Question: win32com pygame and py2exe

[Keith Nemitz <keithn@2xtreme.net>]

I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I couldn't find an 
answer in this list or on the net.

How can I get win32com installed with the rest of my exe, which 
currently contains everything else to run my game? If I comment out the 
calls to win32com, the game runs fine.

I've installed the win32all extensions for python. When I run py2exe, 
it can't find 'win32com.shell'. I've tried importing just win32com, but 
py2exe. I've tried to find the dll that seems to contain the code 
required, but no luck. I assume I might be able to force inclusion into 
the dist folder with a setup.py script command, but I don't know which 
files to include.

The only functionality I need, is to be able to ask Windows for 
specific folders across the various versions of that OS. I would 
happily use alternate code that doesn't require win32com, but I can't 
find any.

Perhaps someone here can offer a solution.
