py2app doesn't bundle the Python installed with OS X in /System--that's by design. Technically, you really can't redistribute Apple bits. Besides, there's no way that the Apple-installed Python on 10.5 will run on an earlier version of the OS. To get a truly standalone app bundle with py2app, you'll have to use a separate build of Python, and wrap that. You can get this from python.org. I think that build supports 10.3 and up (someone correct me if I'm wrong). -- Kevin Walzer Code by Kevin http://www.codebykevin.com _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
