can anyone tell me how to include the .mo files from wx.localizations.* into a pyinstaller package such that the executable will be able to correctly localize?
Thanks,
Joran
Just some more info …
···
Im totally at a loss. and this is going to take someone with some in-depth knowledge (probably of pyinstaller,moreso than anything else)
I have been 100% unsuccessful at including the c:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\wx-2.8-msw-unicode\Locale\* translation files in a pyinstaller executable … wx.Locale(locale_code) simply isnt finding the intended packages.
can someone give me a hint(or a flat out answer) on how to include the *.mo files in the spec file such that the exe can find them?
I wish i had more "I tried this … but frankly with pyinstaller I have very little idea what Im doing and just kind of sledgehammer on my .spec file (which is gross and I would not want to subject anyone here to it …)

This is really more of a pyinstaller question as you mention below,
and I think you would get better answers in the pyinstaller mailing
list. At any rate, though, the proper way to do something like this
is in the pyinstaller hooks for wxpython. That route is not too bad,
but will require a little mind-bending to figure out what is really
going on there.
The quick and dirty solution is to just add the locale files to the
table-of-contents that determines exactly which files pyinstaller will
pull in. In your .spec file, look for a call to EXE() (or you might
need to look at COLLECT() if you are doing a one-dir build). Any non
keyworded arguments there is just a table-of-contents list that looks
like this:
[(to,from,'DATA'),(to,from,'DATA'),....]
where "to" and "from" the destination and source of each file that you
want included. The .spec file is just a python script like any other,
so insert some code to walk the locale files in wxPython, and add them
one by one to your custom TOC list. Then throw that custom TOC list
in as an argument to EXE() or COLLECT() as appropriate. IIRC, "to" is
a relative path within your package, and "from" is obviously the full
path to the file you want to package.

When wx is imported it does the following code. You can do something similar of your locale folder is located somewhere that the following won't find it:
···
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Add the directory where the wxWidgets catalogs were installed
# to the default catalog path, if they were put in the package dir.
import os
_localedir = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "locale")
if os.path.exists(_localedir):
Locale.AddCatalogLookupPathPrefix(_localedir)
del os
