In upgrading from 2.6.4 to 2.8.2 my custom-built web2py_no_console.exe failed starting the rocket server with a 'can't import module http' python error. It's something seemingly unrelated to the other posters' issues, but I'm sharing how I was able to fix it, maybe it will help someone. Essentially the fix consists in editing web2py_exe.py and commenting out the new code block that slims down library.zip. That was it, in my case. I rebuilt my web2py_no_console.exe with the fatter library.zip and the import error went away. The new code was added in 2.8.2, apparently it's harmless but in my case it makes the difference between a working web2py_no_console.exe and a broken one. I wonder, maybe there is a reason why py2exe builds a larger library.zip file seemengly full of duplicates. For the record, I wish the size trimming had worked - in my case it had shrunk library.zip from 16MB down to about 6MB.
