Solution : In order to make PIL and PY2EXE work together all libraries of PIL need to be imported explicitly such as:

import Image
import BmpImagePlugin # if you are using bitmaps
Import JpgImagePlugin # if you are dealing with jpg images

So forth ..
Note : These explicit imports may not be necessary if you are running the python script directly but are needed if you are running the exe file created by py2exe .

i tried to use this solution but it didn't work for me
i am using python 2.4 with PIL 1.15
i use reportlab 1.20 in connection with PIL to generate PDF-Files this works fine
but if i try to put my script into an executable with help of py2exe, i can't use images anymore.
if i generate PDFs without images it works fine.
but when i try to use images i get this error:

Code:

File "PIL\Image.pyc", line 1745, in open
IOError: cannot identify image file

as you can see there are about 200 lines more now in comparism to your error. and the file has moved to the subdir "PIL" -> "PIL\Images.pyc" instead of only "Image.pyc" in root dir

i hope you can help me

Well I am using Python 2.5 and PY2EXE.py is not a file in it. Python 2.2 (which I was previously using) had py2exe but gave an error saying to use build_exe.py.

Python 2.5 does have a build_exe.py though. any hints? Should I use the same directions and switch the words py2exe with build_exe?

EDIT: Nevermind... >.> I feel stupid now. I got it to work...

Not sure if this has been asked yet, but is there a PY2EXE equivelant for Linux to compile a Python program into a linux binary file?
