The list of options py2app will accept is shown when you do "python setup.py py2app --help". These can be converted into setup.py speak by replacing the hyphens with underscores and passing them to setup() in an options dictionary (many of the examples do this).
I'm in the same boat with C. Jerdonek, though I suspect I know less. So when I saw this passage, I hung, as always, on every word from py2app's own master. Aha! I said.
And I do find that syntax in two places: the setup.py files for PyTestPlugin and wxGlade each have two *nested* dictionaries, which I understand *almost* well enough to use it. Two others (TinyTinyEdit and aliens) have a simple dict that maps a script to a plist. And the setup.py for superdoodle is one I really want to understand and can't quite:
setup(
name="superdoodle",
**{buildstyle : ['superdoodle.py']}
)
where buildstyle has been set according to platform.
But I for one am still having trouble duplicating and extending this syntax for my own files. (Nothing in the Distutils docs on any of this, of course.) I think this is where some of us need a fill-in-the-gap tutorial. Any mercy welcome.
See http://docs.python.org/ref/calls.html -- it explains how this syntax works.
