I'm using py2exe 0.6.5 and python2.4 on a WinXP box.   I am writing an
application that interfaces with Dassault CATIAv5.   It runs fine as
regular Python (using win32com.client.gencache.EnsureModule ) but fails
when it has been frozen with py2exe because the constants cannot be
found.   I've seen the page in the wiki
<http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/IncludingTypelibs>  about this and I
have tried solution 3 but the constants still couldn't be found.   

Now I'm trying solution 2.   CATIA has 102  typelibs so I pasted them
all into the setup.py file:
	options = {"py2exe": {"typelibs":
	
[('{00B6EC0E-BCFE-11D2-9B5B-006094EB7ECA}',0,0,0),
				....etc...
	
('{FE86BC00-D89C-11D2-BE6C-00104B7D1988}',0,0,0)]}},

But then when I run py2exe I get the following error message:
	C:\cygwin\usr\project\CSICM> python setup.py py2exe
	running py2exe
	running build_py

I googled for this error message and found this
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-win32/2004-September.txt>  in
which Mark Hammond states "typelibs can have references to other
typelibs - loading one of these other references is what is failing."
That was back in September, 2004.   Has any solution been found for this
problem ?
