Answer 1

You need to put import paramiko into your setup.py as well.

Answer 2

This post might offer a possible approach solving the problem:

When running py2exe with a script importing Paramiko I noticed this in the output:

The following modules appear to be missing ... paramiko ...

And then in the log file created when I run the exe I saw this:

Traceback (most recent call last): ... ImportError: No module named paramiko This has to do with py2exe not being able to handle egg files. So what I did is pulled out the paramiko directory from the egg, and placed that in my site-packages directory, and then deleted the egg. It works now though the setup function still tells me this:

The following modules appear to be missing ['Crypto.PublicKey._fastmath', 'Crypto.Util.winrandom', '_ssl', 'r_hmac']

Luckily as far as I can tell, I don’t use those modules anywhere.
