Pyinstaller traceback

Question

Traceback  (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 137, in <module>
File C:\Python26\buildSVG_Resizer\out1.pyz/encodings", line 100, in search_function
TypeError: importHook() got an unexpected keyword argument 'level'

The imports in my .py file are:

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
import os, stat
import tkFileDialog

My script parses SVG's (xml) in a directory and then replaces values if they are out of range. This script runs fine through the console.

I can post the whole script if that will help.

Thanks for anything.

Preliminar support for creating a bundle on Mac OSX.
Yet to be integrated into Makespec.py.

If you get something older, svn up to make sure you have the current version, and try packaging your project again (from the start, since, if you've used some defective version, there might have been incorrect intermediate files generated).
