Looks like that Python 2.5 has the zlib module built in, crashing Py2exe when
"Compressed" = 1.

I changed a little(commented) the build_exe.py script and it worked perfectly
for me. Any drawbacks in the change i made?

Here follows the part I commented:

--- Line 572
        if dist.zipfile is None:
            os.unlink(arcname)
        else:
            if self.bundle_files < 3 or self.compressed:
                arcbytes = open(arcname, "rb").read()
                arcfile = open(arcname, "wb")

                if self.bundle_files < 2: # bundle pythonxy.dll also
                    print "Adding %s to %s" % (python_dll, arcname)
                    arcfile.write("<pythondll> ")
                    bytes = open(os.path.join(self.bundle_dir, python_dll),
"rb").read()
                    arcfile.write(struct.pack("i", len(bytes)))
                    arcfile.write(bytes) # python dll
                ''' --->  Start comment so py2exe doesnt search for zlib.pyd
                if self.compressed:
                    # prepend zlib.pyd also
                    print "Adding zlib%s.pyd to %s" % (is_debug_build and "_d"
or "", arcname)
                    arcfile.write("<zlib.pyd> ")
                    zlib_file = imp.find_module("zlib")
                    bytes = zlib_file.read()
                    arcfile.write(struct.pack("i", len(bytes)))
                    arcfile.write(bytes) # zlib.pyd
                ''' 
                arcfile.write(arcbytes)
--- Line 596

Waiting for feedback,

Carlos
