py2exe转换的脚本无法正确运行win32com.client

Question

I have seen a couple posts related to my issue on other sites, but nothing worked. To make a long story short, my program importa win32com.client to access Microsoft Word. I create a standalone executable using py2exe and every time the user selects the option to open MS Word I get a KeyError. Below is the code which the compiler claims the error is:

# Call the MS Word app
MS_Word = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch('Word.application')

And below is the result when the program run this particular line:

Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Tkinter.pyc", line 1536, in __call__
File "PROTOTYPE_PCE.PY", line 46, in SCAN
File "win32com\client\gencache.pyc", line 544, in EnsureDispatch
File "win32com\client\CLSIDToClass.pyc", line 46, in GetClass
KeyError: '{00020970-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}'

I am using Tkinter as well, but it is NOT the source of the issue. Opening MS Word from the program is a new feature I have added and it only fails when I create the standalone application. I have also tried Pyinstaller and I my line of errors only increased. Thanks in advance!

OKAY! So for some reason the library.zip file that py2exe creates after being run does not allow for modules like win32com.client to import into the program. Why? I really do not know I am a noob at this stuff. Anyway the following solution works VERY well, as if I initially had no problem at all. This is what should be included in the setup.py script. Taken from another post. I hope this helps someone :)

setup(  
...

zipfile="foo/bar.zip", 
options={"py2exe": {"skip_archive": True}})

Ignoring library.zip in py2exe
