Executable generated with cx_freeze opens for an instant before closing

Question

So I made an executable of my python script using cx_freeze but when I open it the window only stays for a fraction of a second before disappearing. I opened it directly with cmd and this is the error it displayed:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python32\lib\site-packages\pygame\__init__.py", line 117, in     <module>
    try: import pygame.display
  File "ExtensionLoader_pygame_display.py", line 22, in <module>
  File "ExtensionLoader_pygame_display.py", line 14, in __bootstrap__
  File "ExtensionLoader_pygame_surface.py", line 22, in <module>
  File "ExtensionLoader_pygame_surface.py", line 14, in __bootstrap__
ImportError: No module named _view

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

When I compiled the executable it said that it hadn't imported several files from pygame, but "this may not be a problem as they may not be needed." I'm guessing this error is a product of those files not being imported but I don't know how to fix that.

I solved the problem. It seemed to be an issue with the version of Python and Pygame that I had, and after getting a more recent version of both everything worked just fine.
