I notice that I do not have the dll when py2exe says it cannot locate
the dll. If I need vs2008, then what good is vcredist_xxx.exe? It does
not seem to give me the dll, but the py2exe tutorial says that it
will. What am I missing?

Do you have the correct vcredist for VS 2008?

I ran the redist exe from Microsoft that said it was for c++ 2008, from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9b2da534-3e03-4391-8a4d-074b9f2bc1bf&displaylang=en
I still cannot find the dll I need! Again, I have 32-bit python2.6 on
win7x64, so I got the _x86 version of the redist file. I have also
tried running the x64 version of the file, just to see if it would
help, but I still have no dll. I installed vs2005, but apparently I
need vs2008, which I cannot find.

Alex, the DLLs are in winsxs, try searching there.
For py2exe, it doesn't find the DLLs so you should provide them. In my
setup.py (I use also the wxPython lib so something could be different) I
added:

def isSystemDLL(pathname):
if os.path.basename(pathname).lower() in ('msvcp90.dll'):
return 0
return origIsSystemDLL(pathname)
origIsSystemDLL = py2exe.build_exe.isSystemDLL
py2exe.build_exe.isSystemDLL = isSystemDLL

Then I added to 'dll_excludes' the same 'msvcp90.dll'.

In this way py2exe is ok without this DLL and can build the excutable.
Note that the dll that py2exe is looking for is msvcp90 in my case.

Then I added a subdirectory with the DLLs (msvcr90, msvcp90, msvcm90) to
the distribution directory. You need a manifest too :-)

Ok, it seems complex but you can check the followings
http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/Tutorial
http://wiki.wxpython.org/py2exe (related to wxPython but look at the
manifest)

An other solution is to run the vcredist on the target machine and the
application will run. This is the suggested solution if you cannot
distibute the DLLs.

Bye, Enrico
