Hi Alex,

Thanks for your reply.  Can I ask some questions about your code?

>      class py2exe_build(build_exe):

Does this follow the pattern from this page? -

> filename = config.packageFile(dir.replace("/", "."), filename).filename

What is config?

> _copy_ini_files(self, self.collect_dir, ini_files)

ini_files - is that a list you specified yourself?
(like "ini_files = ['c:/foo/peak.ini']" ?)
