Hi all,
I've been wrestling with py2app for the last day and am getting pretty
confused/discouraged. If anyone has any suggestions regarding the
following issues I've run across, I would be extremely grateful!
I've tested these with both the SVN version of py2app (and
dependencies like modulegraph/macholib) as well as the current
distributed version.
(1) It appears that modules included via the py2app 'includes' option
do not have their full dependencies added. I included a handful of
modules from my main package via the setup.py script:
setup_kws['options'] = {'py2app':{'includes':['mypackage.util',
'mypackage.other']}}
These modules do get included, but *none* of their dependencies do,
even though there are clear 'import' statements in each. I checked out
the dependency graph as output by the --graph option, and sure enough,
no dependencies other than 'os' (which is not imported by the modules)
are shown. Is this by design? I tried tracing through the modulegraph
code to check, but it doesn't seem that this is the desired outcome.
(2) It appears that any packages that I include via the py2app
'packages' option are copied verbatim from the *source*, not *build*
directory. E.g. my top-level package is called 'mypackage', and I want
to force all of it to be included in the py2app bundle, so I do the
following in the top-level setup.py file:
setup_kws['options'] = {'py2app':{'includes':['mypackage.util',
'mypackage.other']}}
Now, there are a lot of C extensions to mypackage, and some (distutils-
supported) folder-structure transformations (thanks to some 3rd party
code that I've included). But at the end of the day, the right
structure gets put into build/lib.macosx[whatever]. However, for some
reason what gets copied over into the app bundle is the mypackage tree
from the source dir, not from the build/lib dir. Which includes
hundreds of C source files, etc., and has the wrong structure.
Anyone have any thoughts about these matters?
Thanks,
Zach Pincus
