[Insight-users] Freezing itk python executables

Hi,

I apologise if this is not the correct place to post this, so please forgive me or correct me. I am trying to build executables 
from python scripts under Windows XP. The python scripts use itk and the .py scripts work fine, but I want to 'freeze' them. I 
have tried both py2exe and cx_freeze, and they both fail to locate itk during the build process. I am assuming that this is due 
to the fact that the python itk is not under C:\Python26, but under the directory I defined during cmake, and subsequent 
compilation.

I have a couple of questions; firstly what is the best way to include itk within python, at the moment I have added directories 
to the PATH and PYTHONPATH environment variables) and then call 'import itk' from within python.

Secondly, if anyone has used either 'py2exe' or 'cs_freeze' to build executables from python scripts that import itk could they 
point me in the direction of any information.

Thanks in advance,

Peter
