The best solution would be to teach SPE about application bundles, but I don't know how hard that would be. Bundle support in Cocoa/CoreFoundation uses the C-level argv[0] (*) to calculate the default location for bundles. Bundlebuilder (py2app's predecessor(sp?)) uses a copy of the python interpreter inside the directory Foo.app/Contents/MacOS to run the user's application. The bundle application (Foo.app/Conents/MacOS/Foo) is a python script that sets up the right environment and then calls the embedded python interpreter. You could try to use something like that to run your application from SPE. Ronald (*) Technically it doesn't even use that, but the first argument to the execv that was used to start the application. > > Yours kodi > > > _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
