exe build failed because of regex

Hi, Bryan!

Maybe you could check how to make regex work with PyInstaller. I tried to build a binary and got the traces below. Release v15.11 is ready. If you managed to build it - attach a binary here

I manually coped site-packages/regex-2015.11.09.dist-info to dist/enki and that worked. I'll add a hook to automate this in the future.

Thanks!

My pleasure. I'm currently working on integrating some of the fixes into PyInstaller, and some into Enki. I'll close the issue when this is complete.
