py2exe
Hi. I'm trying to use python's py2exe to freeze an application that includes copying a file to dropbox via the API so I can run it from a machine that does not have dropbox installed. My python script itself works well within python. Then I create an exe file, but when I run it I get the following error:
NotImplementedError: resource_filename() only supported for .egg, not .zip
There is a Stack Overflow discussion about this here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2678180/how-does-dropbox-use-python-on-windows-and-os-x/2679695
I have tried what they suggested, but it doesn't work. I have hunted down a few rest.py files and changed them in various locations to no avail. From the age of the solution, I suspect maybe it doesn't work with Dropbox API v2? Is there anything you can suggest that I can try? Thanks.

HI Dennis. Thanks for posting, but unfortunately I don't have any expertise with py2exe, nor can we support it in general, since it's made by a third party.
Apologies I can't be of more help, but perhaps someone else in the forum has done this in their app and has some experience with this.
