Someone encountered the exact same issue: unable to bundle pywin32 + python2.6 because of MSVCRT90.DLL issues - but there seems to be a solution: ​py2exe mailing list thread

Win32 bugs potentially related to this: #10, #68, #79

What we have there kinda works, but there are many issues that need improving/resolving:

• bandwidth: pulseaudio's TCP protocol is a bandwidth pig... We must ensure we only use it over fast links (need better detection?)

Edit: see original description for the approach that was abandoned (pure pulseaudio)

The pygtk bug is ​here I had originally created a twisted bug ​here - but the problem is not in twisted.

And here is the Fedora bug: ​660137

Gentoo bug: ​353599

Ubuntu bug: ​664920

Debian already has a patch for squeeze (against 2.17.0-4): ​pygtk-wakeupfd-fix.patch

FreeBSD: ​bug 154755

So, I believe we should just leave it to the distributors to ship patched versions of the libraries we rely on rather than trying to workaround the issue (not even sure it is possible to do so)

However: if you want to use the fixed PyGTK RPMs/DEBs we have made using the above patch, please download them manually from: ​http://winswitch.org/dists/

(as this is a system package - we will not push it to you automatically: this is your distribution's job)
