http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools#new-and-changed- setup-keywords """ setup_requires A string or list of strings specifying what other distributions need to be present in order for the setup script to run. setuptools will attempt to obtain these (even going so far as to download them using EasyInstall) before processing the rest of the setup script or commands. This argument is needed if you are using distutils extensions as part of your build process; for example, extensions that process setup() arguments and turn them into EGG-INFO metadata files. (Note: projects listed in setup_requires will NOT be automatically installed on the system where the setup script is being run. They are simply downloaded to the setup directory if they're not locally available already. If you want them to be installed, as well as being available when the setup script is run, you should add them to install_requires and setup_requires.) """ If someone has setuptools installed but not py2app, this would also ensure that py2app is downloaded and usable. It also makes absolutely sure that setuptools sees the py2app egg's entry points and adds the "py2app" command and "app" and "plugin" keywords to setup(). Your script isn't strictly correct either, it should be: from setuptools import setup setup(...) None of the examples explicitly import py2app or distutils (except the wxGlade one, which imports py2app to add a recipe). -bob _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
