It really shouldn't be looking at .a files, that's a bug. There's at least a few other bugs in the universal branch of py2app, it's really not ready yet. It does seem to work for some apps, which is why I cut a release. I didn't write any of that code and I haven't audited it, so there isn't much I can do beyond accepting patches that fix these things until I find the time to go through it all (don't hold your breath). -bob _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
