“maximum recursion depth exceeded” while packaging py file with py2exe

Question

The py2exe worked quite well on the same py file several months ago. But when I tried it again today it failed by reporting a “RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded

Answer 1

This error can also occur when you have Jason path.py installed as described here: http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/PathModul. The solution from this page is to

Just rename

site-packages/path.py to

site-packages/jpath.py 

and make sure also to toggle your imports to

import jpath
