Ronald,
Great to hear that you're working on better tests for PyObjCTools. After
struggling for hours, I think I finally found the problem with the latest
py2app-devel (0.4.2) + pyobjc-cocoa (2.0.1) from MacPorts. I found the
__init__.py file was missing from:
/opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PyObjCTools/
I downloaded the __init__.py file from the pyobjc SVN and plopped it in that
directory. For reference, this file contains the following one line:
__import__('pkg_resources').declare_namespace(__name__)
Then, I modified my setup file so that it looks more like
install_requires=["pyobjc-core"]. Apparently PyObjC 2.0 broke the project
up into smaller packages and the name changed as well. "pyobjc-core" and I
think "pyobjc-framework-cocoa" are the packages required to build the PyObjC
examples that were of interest to me.
Phew, I'm so glad this is finally working. Good luck with the py2app
tests. I for one will be grateful for your work
Thanks,
Jacob
