How to add dll's using py2exe?

Question

Hello,

I use a c++ dll in python. That dll uses other dlls.

I want to know if it's possible to include all the dll's in my .exe using py2exe without calling them directlly. If so, how can I do it?

Thanks in advance :)

You may need a data_files= referencing all of those DLLs, perhaps with a wildcard. See the docs for an example (about specifically the MS runtime DLL). Note, as the docs say a million times, that you need legal rights to redistribute DLLs and those need to be obtained from the DLL's authors/owners -- don't just assume it's legally OK to redistribute them!-)
