Thanks Michael that is helpful and from inspection looks like it will
work OK even though the win32com code seems to have changed recently.
After ages I found an alternative solution that also seems to work, see
ticket 41.
Basically I added the following to the rt hook in
pyinstaller1.1\support\rthooks\win32comgenpy.py:
sys.modules["win32com.gen_py"].__path__ = [ win32com.__gen_path__ ]
if (hasattr(sys.modules["win32com.gen_py"], '__importsub__')):
delattr(sys.modules["win32com.gen_py"], '__importsub__')
Some of the path manipulation done in you code appears to be done in the
rt hook which runs at startup. I added setting gen_py.__path__ correctly
as without it files were found in the python installation gen_py.
I hadn't spotted __oldimport__ but stopped the iu import hook getting in
the way for gen_py imports by removing the __importsub__ attr that gets
set on the module by pyinstaller hook. __oldimport__ is probably safer.
One interesting thing is that having run EnsureDispatch in the normal
way you can copy the generated gen_py files into the runtime
suport\gen_py for distribution. That gives slight speedup of first run
as it doesn't need to create the cached files though in my case I need
to ensure they get created on users machine (versions). It might might
also give Dispatch early binding support if you copy the files created
by makepy (there different) but I haven't tried that
My next project uses wxPython as well so will be interested in any
solutions you find.

Steve Lee, I've not managed to get pyinstaller to build my application
yet because I use wxPython and there is currently a problem with the
manner in which wxPython loads, however I do have a workaround which I
use to load COM modules when building with the old version of McMillan
installer. I can't verify that this will work for you but it's quick so
you could give it a try.
First off you'll have to import the module I've attached, then call
set_gen_path() with the genpath. I forget where I found this comhack
but it did help me immensely.
try:
import comhack
import win32com.client.gencache
path = win32com.client.gencache.GetGeneratePath()
comhack.set_gen_path(path)
except:
print 'Unable to manage COM objects'
Hope that helps,
Mike
