Chris, I haven't paid much attention to py2app, but that's because I guessed it didn't fit my needs. I'm not writing apps in Python because I don't write Mac-specific code, and therefore need a portable GUI toolkit, and none of the available-for-Python-on-the-Mac portable GUI systems are good enough (I have hopes for GTK+ on Cairo, with the Imendio-sponsored port at http://developer.imendio.com/wiki/Gtk_Mac_OS_X). My system consists of a Python daemon which uses PIL, ReportLab, Medusa, and PyLucene, along with 4 Python command-line programs, along with 2 Mac apps written in Java as bundled jar files (for Swing). When building an installer, I build the Python extensions from source (using the system Python) and install them under /usr/local/mysys/... The post-install script in the Mac installer then inserts a .pth file for my system's extensions in the system Python's site-packages directory. This allows all the command-line Python scripts to use them, along with the daemon. Can you suggest a better approach?
