Thanks, Werner
Adding the reference to the dll_excludes to the options dict made the
py2exe setup.py now run fine.
Stay well

compilation processing of the external module or something, but, maybe if I
just need to tell it to exclude those files from a specific spot in the
setup.py file that could sort it out?
