What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Installing latest version of py2xe
2. Compiling a project which references dpkt package
3. Examine error message What is the expected output? What do you see instead? It is expected to run smoothly, but instead... (here's the traceback message)

C:\Projects\pwcb-python\dist>pwcb.exe
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "pwcb.py", line 5, in
File "dpkt__init__.pyc", line 24, in

Hi, I ran into the same problem today (2 years after the issue was reported). I
solved it by monkeypatching the original code at 3 places

Basically, it involves modifying function __load_types() at 3 locations:
ethernet.py
ip.py
ppp.py

You need to replace

    d = dict.fromkeys([ x[:-3] for x in os.listdir(os.path.dirname(__file__) or

'.') if x.endswith('.py') ])

with:

try:
    d = dict.fromkeys([ x[:-3] for x in os.listdir(os.path.dirname(__file__) or

'.') if x.endswith('.py') ])
except OSError:
# py2exe compatibility
tmp = import('dpkt')
if hasattr(tmp, 'loader'):
zipfiles = tmp.loader._files.keys()
d = dict.fromkeys([x.split(os.sep)[-1][:-4] for x in zipfiles if 'dpkt'
in x])

Hope it helps someone. The solution isn't elegant, but works for me.
