__load_xxxx functions cause problem in pyinstaller or py2exe

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I got a problem after I generate exe with pyinstaller. It shows that dpkt
use some hacking way to import module. After I view the source code of
dpkt. I found that:

# XXX - auto-load Ethernet dispatch table from ETH_TYPE_* definitions
def __load_types():
    import os
    d = dict.fromkeys([ x[:-3] for x in
os.listdir(os.path.dirname(__file__) or '.') if x.endswith('.py') ])
    g = globals()
    for k, v in g.iteritems():
        if k.startswith('ETH_TYPE_'):
            name = k[9:]
            modname = name.lower()
            if modname in d:
                mod = __import__(modname, g)
                Ethernet.set_type(v, getattr(mod, name))

This hacking code load modules dynamically, so once it is packaged as exe
or something else, that function visit a wrong path like this
"\\buildcards\\out1.pyz/*.*"

Could you fix the problem by not to use strange hacking way to load
modules? Or provide some way to customize that behavior.

Thanks.

An alternative solution:

http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/ConfigImportProblems

Otherwise, we need to build static mappings for Ethernet types, IP protocols, 
etc. 
without circular imports.
