jira-2.0.0.dist causing error with py2exe

[johnlawlor]

We use py2exe to generate an executable for one of our tools. This worked perfectly for x number of years on Python 3.4 until i added a feature that required a JIRA module.

pip install --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.org --trusted-host pypi.python.org JIRA

Then in the code:

from jira.client import JIRA

Now when i try to generate an exe from the code:

    from distutils.core import setup
    import py2exe
    import sys
    sys.setrecursionlimit(10000)
    setup(
      windows=[{
            "script":"myscript.py",
            "icon_resources": [(1, "icon.ico")],
            "dest_base":"myscript"            
              }],
      options={"py2exe":{"includes":["sip","sys","decimal"],"bundle_files": 1}}) 

It fails with:

Error:

When i uninstall the JIRA module the error goes away. We'd still like to use Py2exe.
