Well, for my personal example, an in house tool for an in house task, the users _can_ copy a Mac .app into their Applications folder. I _do not_ and would not expect them to (likely choice): - install macports or homebrew - install python - install source code and libraries (needed PyQt) They're end users; some are (variously) technical and some aren't, but none should need to be technical. I want them to copy an app to a new machine and be happy - drag'n'drop a single thing.
