Hi Charlie,
I'm using openpyxl you made to process some of Excel files. Thanks to make it. Currently, I'm trying to build my processor on both of Linux and Windows. So I also have same issue with #498.
As I commented, I think the __about__.py pattern can fix this issue without a disadvantage. Because __about__.py can be either a submodule and a very simple standalone script. setup.py in my pull request just executes __about__.py instead of importing it. So openpyxl/__init__.py is still not imported. There's no importability problem. Furthermore, there's no data file. py2exe or cx_Freeze doesn't lose anything.
Please review my request.
