Re: [pygame] Pygame2Exe problems

[andrew baker <failrate@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm using python 2.3 on winxp, and py2exe 0.5.4, however it keeps
giving me ImportError: no module name py2exe every time I try to run
it... even from the samples folder.  I ran the installer, and it gave
no errors, so I'm wondering what's up with that.
