+- When packagin a project with py2exe, it will likely print a warning about
+  missing modules 'javax.comm'. This warning is uncritical as the module is
+  used in the Jython implementation that is not used but packaged.
+  
+  It can be avoided with:
+  setup(...
+        options = {'py2exe': {'excludes': ['javax.comm']}})
+  
+  See also setup_demo.py in the examples.
