[PyInstaller] "Cannot GetProcAddress for Py_IncRef" error when running EXE file

[bvdet]

I wrote a GUI script using Tkinter in Python 2.3. The script works
well when run from PythonWin, Idle and from the command prompt (2.3
and 2.6). I managed to create an EXE file using PyInstaller and the
batch file below. Unfortunately, every time I run the EXE file, I
receive this error message in what appears to be a Tk widget: "Cannot
GetProcAddress for Py_IncRef". Then I get the ubiquitous Microsoft
send/don't send error report widget.

The batch file:
set PIP=C:\Python23\Lib\site-packages\pyinstaller-1.4\
c:\Python23\python %PIP%Makespec.py --onefile --noconsole --upx --
ascii --tk hiproof.py
c:\Python23\python %PIP%Build.py hiproof.spec

Here are the imports:
import Tkinter
from Tkconstants import *
from math import *
import textwrap
from itertools import cycle

Any suggestions?

I have accidentally broken compatibility with Python 2.3 in PyInstaller
1.4, sorry about that.

I have just committed a fix in PyInstaller SVN trunk. Can you please try
it? It will be part of PyInstaller 1.4.1.

Giovanni,

Thanks for the prompt response. I am on Windows and not setup for SVN.
Can you tell me which files were updated?
