Python import error on compiled binary?

I'm trying to distribute a python app which uses pyHook I used cx_Freeze to make a compiled binary. The orginal python project works flawlessly while in .py form. But the compiled binary from cx_freeze just terminates after giving this Traceback:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\pyHook\cpyHook.py", line 18, in swig_impor
t_helper
    fp, pathname, description = imp.find_module('_cpyHook', [dirname(__file__)])

  File "C:\Python34\lib\imp.py", line 297, in find_module
    raise ImportError(_ERR_MSG.format(name), name=name)
ImportError: No module named '_cpyHook'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

    Traceback (most recent call last):

    nd_load_unlocked
    ImportError: No module named '_cpyHook'

Clearly, it can't find _cpyHook which is a part of PyHook library. I tried a lot searching but couldn't find any useful info regarding this. How to fix this?

I had the same problem.

Before you compile it, copy the _cpyHook.pyd and cpyHook.py files from "c:\PythonXX\Lib\site-packages\pyHook" to "c:\PythonXX\Lib\site-packages", then compile it and it should work.
