Thanks Lutz! I should have looked into Amara's binderytools module earlier. This is just the type of tool I was looking for. When I tried testing its compatibility with py2exe, I was _almost_ able to compile... Does anyone know where the following libraries exist? I thought Amara would have these included, but it looks like I need to install another module.
