I tried that but without success. I believe that setting the variable in a launcher could work, but I do not know how to do that on Windows. `py2exe`'s `custom-boot-script` may be the right place here but it is not documented. > How much of those 40MB is Open Babel, and how much is random Python > libraries you don't need?

I checked by setting `bundle_files` to 3 (don't bundle) and it copied `_openbabel.pyd` that is ~110 MB (nonshared). (shared) `libopenbabel.dll` + `libinchi.dll` + `plugin_ops` are less than half as large.
