The conversation about Fink & Darwinports has introduced me to linuxy package managers for the first time, and I have to say, this looks much easier than trying to compile libraries and manage dependencies myself.
My question: can I use py2app to build a redistributable app that's statically linked to either package manager's libraries? Or do I have to install Fink/DarwinPorts on each of my clients' machines?
(I would like to develop an app that uses numeric, scientific python, wxPython, and matplotlib, which are all somewhat difficult to install by hand, but are all readily available via Fink or DarwinPorts)
py2app copies all required shared libraries into your application bundle. System libraries are not copied.
Yes, you can use py2app with Fink (linux-y) or Darwinports (bsd-y) dependencies, but your application may become gigantic in the FInk case due to duplication of libraries the system already has. Not so much of a problem with Darwinports.
