py2app may be more powerful than BundleBuilder, but it is also a complex, fragile beast. It consists of several different packages, requiring both a) a deep understanding of OS X mach-o internals and how libraries/load paths/dyld bits are loaded;
I'm a bit confused by this -- how does bundle builder to it in a way that doesn't require this knowledge?
In other words, py2app is now essentially unmaintained, and is starting to suffer from bit-rot.
The fact that it has worked better for you doesn't necessarily mean that it is more robust or more maintainable (though having tried to dig into the Py2app code a couple times, I agree that it is a challenge!).
But Ronald sees to think there are real advantages to py2app, and he would know.
I have no horse in this race -- like most of us, I just want something that works.
Are you offering to maintain BundleBuilder? I"ll take somthing actively maintained over something that isn't.
Note that modulegraph is being used by bbfreeze as well, so it's not completely unmaintained.
I still wish that the was more unification among all the executable builders, it does seem to be a waste of energy to have so much stuff repeated.
If only I had more time for this stuff! -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
