I ran into a similar issue with the MsSQL module when going between win7
and server 2008.
For me, the resolution was excluding that dll from the py2exe build and
making sure the correct DLLs were with the executable on the new server. I
had to find the version the host is looking for and keep it with the
executable.
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe,sys,os
dll=[]
#This is where I specified the DLL I wanted it to put next to the executable
dll.append(os.path.join(os.path.split(pymssql.__file__)[0], 'ntwdblib.dll'))
alloptions = {"py2exe": {"compressed": 1,
"optimize": 2,
"bundle_files":1,
"packages": ["pymssql","_mssql","decimal","email"],
"excludes": ["MySQLdb", "Tkconstants",
"Tkinter","tcl","orm.adapters.pgsql","orm.adapters.mysql"],
"dll_excludes": ["tcl84.dll", "tk84.dll","wxmsw26uh_vc.dll"]
}
}
programName = 'appName.py'
sys.argv.append('py2exe')
setup(zipfile=None,
console=[programName],
data_files=dll,
options = alloptions
)
I hope this gets you a bit closer.
