So don't bother building a 10.3 version. The 10.2 version should work fine.
That is what was tried first - we don't want the extra work! I don't know what the issue was, but there was some incompatibility.
There shouldn't be. If there is, it's probably libusb's fault, nothing in Python or wxPython should have this problem.
There are issues with using a 10.3 machine to produce 10.2 compatible software, but vice versa should work fine.
Did you know py2app had a --strip option, which does strip -x -S?
Nope. The way this works is that the example is copied, names changed and tweaks done until it works. What isn't well documented doesn't get used.
Every option py2app takes is documented:
python setup.py py2app --help
I couldn't find a compelling reason to use an uncompressed zip
The only reason I could think of is if the Python internals memory map the file and use the objects as is. If they were compressed then they would have to be decompressed to other memory.
But I doubt Python does memory map the file.
Without even looking, I can pretty much say for sure that it does not :) Python strings can't be mmap backed, anyway.
BTW I hate that drag and dropping stuff. It is fine for experiments but not appropriate for repeatable reliable controlled builds. What is even more annoying is tools like Apple's Help indexer that can *only* be run using drag and drop. Not that it matters since I can't get Apple's help working anyway.
open -a "Application" document
Anyway, I was using drag + drop as an example (I don't use it much for this sort of thing). Given references to a few files, py2app can fill in almost all of the blanks. If there are no data dependencies, py2app should be able to fill in all the blanks (except for version). It will use the name of the main script as the name of the application, and it will look for an icon with the same name and .icns extension.
You're probably not setting the right plist keys or something for Apple's help.
