SQLAlchemy and py2exe

[Karlo Lozovina]

I've installed SQLAlchemy under Windows (strangely, it didn't install
inside ../site-packages/ as a directory, but rather as a
SQLAlchemy-0.2.8-py2.4.egg file). I can import it with 'import
sqlalchemy' and run my program with WingIDE, SPE and ofcourse in plain old
Python shell (ipython actually).

But when I build my .exe using py2exe and run the executable, it fails
with 'Cannot import module sqlalchemy' error. Is it because SA is
installed inside a .egg file, and can I somehow force it to install like
all the other packages?

Thanks guys...
