Clear message

py2app is a Python setuptools command which will allow you to make standalone application bundles and plugins from Python scripts. py2app is similar in purpose and design to py2exe for Windows.

Installation

(py2app version 0.5 2010-07-28 Ronald Oussuroren)

"easy_install-X.Y -U py2app" should install the software, where X.Y is your favorite version of Python.

There is one new feature in this release: experimental support for python 3. This basicly means that I managed to build a single application as a standalone application bundle, without much testing. Alias builds and plugin bundles almost certainly don't work (the first because alias builds use the Carbon module which isn't available in python 3, the latter because I had to rewrite the C code in the application bundles and probably have to do the same for plugin bundles).

Current repository:

Original version:

Problems before 0.5

current state

checkout and install. install with "python setup.py install"

ATTENTION some things are in /Library/Python and some things in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/.

questions

is it really necessary to run 'python setup.py py2app' with sudo ?

it writes into /Library ?

and there still is an error that ::

is missing. There is only ::

linking main-fat3 to main-i386 makes the build succeed, but the app crashes

I did not try main-intel or universal yet.

Development

Python Versions

modulegraph/util.py requires python>=2.6 for immutable bytes by 'b"something"'.

Testing

py.test is used for testing. modulegraph/util.py contains tests in util.py. maybe revert to unittest.
