Just came through... seems the mail server is kinda laggy.

That is a strange place for that error ... looks like it is in
MultiRotated, but your program does not even use anything
from that class...

I have never tried py2exe at all ...

You may want to ask this on the pygame list, or even on
comp.lang.python or a py2exe specific list.

I think the best bet is for people to just install python and related
packages. If you provide links to the proper files, it is not very
difficult, and you know it works...
