Here was Sudhakar's comment (thanks), but it doesn't seem to help. The Python version doesn't change (2.6), nor the version of wxPython. All that changes, as far as I can see, is the very small edits I'm making in the code. For a while I thought trashing the old .app and the dist folder forced the smaller file-size, but now that doesn't seem to work either. What am I missing about py2app?

Subject: Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] size of py2app app

This happens when you are trying to make a standalone application(file size is less) and distributable application, ie is run on other system then file size is more.

i want to make sure whether ur app running on another sys and r u using PMW module....if so there is little problem in converting py2app.

Sometimes the app (using "python setup.py py2app --strip --iconfile MyApp.icns") comes out to about 47 MB, and sometimes it comes out to I have an app that sometimes comes out to about 95 MB. I can't pin down anything that makes the difference. I know "--strip" is the default now, but putting it in or leaving it out seems to have no effect. What am I missing? I'm using py2app-0.4.2-py2.6.egg.
