What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Attempt to build an executable with py2exe, have the program use 
pybox2d.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I can confirm this and have found two temporary solutions:
1. Copy the Box2d folder to the working directory
2. Edit Box2D.py commenting out the whole if version_info >= (2,6,0): else 
block and
replace with just import _Box2D

Thanks for the tips, Benjamin. I'm not entirely sure of the reason behind this. 
I'd
imagine py2exe has trouble with every SWIG-based project if it can't handle 
pybox2d.
I'll get this on the Box2D if it ever comes back up, or I'll eventually have to 
make
my own page here.
