cx_Freeze : LookupError: unknown encoding: ascii

Hi -
I created a binary using the cx_Freeze utility on Linux (wxWidgets
2.8 / Python 2.5/ Mandriva 2008 ).

When I tried to run the binary - this is the error that I got on the
console.

File "gdataapi.py", line 44, in __init__
self.service.ProgrammaticLogin()
File "/opt/software/gdata-py/src/gdata/service.py", line 284, in
ProgrammaticLogin
auth_connection.putrequest('POST', '/accounts/ClientLogin')
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/httplib.py", line 806, in putrequest
host_enc = self.host.encode("ascii")
LookupError: unknown encoding: ascii


Can somebody point to some clues about options that need to be passed
to FreezePython API to get the right executable.

Thanks for the help.

You need to tell it to include the encodings.ascii module.

Thanks Martin.

Adding something like

./freeze --include-modules=encodings.ascii,encodings.utf_8 <source>

fixed the issue.
