Greetings,
I've been successfully using py2app for about a year now to build an
application bundle out of a large wxPython application I've
developed. Recently, I upgraded my development machine to OSX
10.4.2, and installed wxPython 2.6.1.0 and py2app 0.2. I'm using the
Apple-supplied Python interpreter (version 2.3.5) and the
"TigerPython23Compat.pkg" package to ensure that the Python
interpreter finds wxPython 2.6.1.0 instead of the Apple-suppled
version 2.5.3.
This works fine when my application is run directly from the command-
line -- a simple "import wx" correctly imports version 2.6.1.0 and
the application runs as normal. However, when I use py2app to create
an application bundle, the resulting application starts up, but soon
crashes because it's running a completely different version of
wxPython -- not version 2.5.3, which would make some sense, but
version 2.6.0.1!
The weird thing is that I never installed wxPython 2.6.0.1 on my
machine -- the /Library/Python/2.3/wx-2.6-mac-ansi/wx/__version__.py
file definitely shows the version as 2.6.1.0, and I used "grep" to
search for the string "2.6.0.1" in "/Library" and "/System", without
success. So I'm at a complete loss to understand how an application
bundle created using py2app could use a version of wxPython I never
installed.
I'm not sure if the problem is an obscure bug in py2app, if something
is screwed up in the wxPython 2.6.1.0 library (maybe it includes the
wrong version of an .so files or something), or if I've done
something stupid to cause the problem myself. But, whatever the
cause, it seems very strange that the following code:
import wx
print wx.__version__
prints "2.6.1.0" when run in the Python interpreter, but prints
"2.6.0.1" when run as an application bundle built using py2app.
Any suggestions?
Note: I'm not using wxversion to choose the version of wxPython to
use, so that shouldn't be causing any problems.
In case it helps, here's a (simplified) copy of the "setup.py" file
I'm using to build the application using py2app:
#######################################################################
""" setup.py

"""
from distutils.core import setup

entries=os.listdir(path)
for e in entries:

if os.path.isdir(fullname):
rmrf(fullname)
else:
os.remove(fullname)
os.rmdir(path)
def buildApp():

if os.path.exists("disk-image"):

os.mkdir("disk-image/dNet Ensemble")
sys.path.insert(0, "../framework") # Won't be necessary with
py2app v0.1.7
plist = dict(

app = dict(script="../framework/main.py")

},
}
)
if __name__ == "__main__":
buildApp()

Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have!
