Using kinterbasdb with py2exe

Question

I'm trying to create executable program with py2exe. I get the following error message when kinterbasdb is imported:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "AlarmReporter.py", line 13, in <module>
  File "zipextimporter.pyo", line 82, in load_module
  File "kinterbasdb\__init__.pyo", line 119, in <module>
  File "zipextimporter.pyo", line 98, in load_module
ImportError: MemoryLoadLibrary failed loading kinterbasdb\_kinterbasdb.pyd

Here's my very basic setup.py for py2exe:

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
import sys


setup(
        options={'py2exe': dict(bundle_files=1, optimize=2)},
        console=['AlarmReporter.py'],
        zipfile=None,
)

I'm having problem understanding the error message and have no idea how to fix it.

Try to exclude libfbclient dll

Error while transforming .py to .exe

If that doesn't work , try to use the new fdb driver (the future replacement of kinterbasdb) http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.firebird.python/104 (it doesn't need compiling only the libfbclient.dll)

Another option is to use the pure driver that doesn't need no dll and no c generated binary https://github.com/nakagami/pyfirebirdsql

But you will use it at your own risk ;)
