To get the full Error you can do this in your program:
try:
something_with_error
except:
import traceback
traceback.print_exc()
input()
Then you can see the full error.
Question
I made a script in python 2.6. When I tried running it on the computer(Windows Vista Home Basic) it worked perfectly fine but when I tried making it in an .exe the problems started. The problems were that when I clicked on the executable on other computers(windows 7 and I think the new version of windows vista) it came up with an error box and disappears really quickly. It disappears so quickly that I can't read all of the error messages. But I saw part of the message saying that there was an error on line 70 and line 54 and that there is an 'importError: DLL load failed; The specified module could not be found'. For some reason it looks perfectly fine to me. In case I made the script into an executable with py2exe(latest one). The lines are highlighted in the script below.
