It seems pyinstaller has some issues with importing cx_Oracle. When
running an exe created from a .py file with one line "import cx_Oracle" I
get back a lengthy error message that ends with "ImportError: No module
named decimal" (entire message below). If I add "import decimal" above
"import cx_Oracle" everything seems to work fine. Note that the one line
program 'import cx_Oracle' is executed with no issue before packaging to
an exe.

The following are the pyinstaller commands I used:
Makespec.py -F ImportTest.py
Build.py ImportTest\ImportTest.spec

I am working on Windows XP, PyInstaller 1.3 (downloaded in early February
if it matters), Python 2.5, cx_Oracle version 5.0.2-10g for Python 2.5,
and Oracle 10g v 10.2.0.

----ERROR MESSAGE----
C:\pyinstaller-1.3>ImportTest\ImportTest.exe

Comment:

Confirmed. cx_Oracle does a hidden import of decimal.

Fixed in [777] with a new import hook.
