Generating exe from PyQt program with py2exe

Question

I have this program which works fine in the shell [ http://pastebin.com/qsfJt8eE ]

But when I try to generate a .exe using the py2exe I get this error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test1.py", line 470, in <module>
NameError: name 'ACCOUNT' is not defined

Why is this happening?

Relevant block of code (the end of whole file) looks like:

# line 455
if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
    try:
        acc = pickle.load(open("personal_account.p", "rb"))
        ACCOUNT = Account()  # line 460
        MAIN = MainFrame()
        BALANCE = BalanceFrame(MAIN)
        LOANS = LoansFrame(MAIN)
        BORROWS = BorrowsFrame(MAIN)
        POPUP = PopUp(MAIN, BALANCE, LOANS, BORROWS)
        MAIN.show()

        sys.exit(app.exec_())
    finally:
        pickle.dump(ACCOUNT.data, open("personal_account.p", "wb"))  # line 470

Please do not link to external pastebins. Post the relevant part of code in your question. Questions should be standalone as much as possible. — Oliver, May 02 '14 at 12:12

I would expect, that on line 459 the code fails to load pickle file thus does not set up ACCOUNT variable on following line.

Then on line 470 you try to use that variable and fail.
