freezing a matplotlib program using py2exe

Hello,

I’m trying to convert my python program that uses matplotlib to an exe using py2exe and I’m having a
problem.

Running

python setup.py py2exe

works fine and
creates files in the /dist path. However, when I run the .exe I get a runtime
error (see below)

Traceback (most
recent call last):
