Okay so far. But:
- Why are there fragments of a spec-file in launch.py?
That was a stupid cut and paste mistake I made while jumping around various files - fixed now. Sorry for the confusion.
- Why are you importing three databases?
SOFA currently makes it possible for users to connect to their data in any of 5 different database engines. In addition to the 3 you saw, the dao36_from_genpy module makes it possible to handle MS Access and MS SQL Server. Furthermore, users can import from Excel, Open Office Calc/Gnumeric/Libre Office Calc, Google Docs spreadsheets, and CSV files.

When reading the blog post, the use of launch.py is not obvious for me, esp. since it contains spec-file fragments. It would be more clear for the reader, if you could more explicitly state what is your aim and what is your solution. I did not get it :-\
The reason is to bake into the exe enough modules etc so that the user can run all the SOFA-specific modules without any requirement that they have Python or any of general libraries installed. So they don't need matplotlib etc etc because they are in the sofastats.exe file.

For Release 2.0 we plan to implement an Argument `hiddenimport` for Anaylize(), so you will be able to list all the required modules there and drop launch.py.
All the best with your plans, Grant
