That's corrrect. Py2app currently does not copy egg metadata into the application bundle. > pkg_resources requires a distribution format like eggs to have the required > metadata to introspect a package. That's correct as well. > > Does this assumptions are true? > Does that means I have to purge code from > pkg_resources calls? > Any good suggestion / recommended implementation is welcome. The easiest solutions are to either remove pkg_resources calls, or add custom pkg_resources.py file that loads the resource data without using setuptools metadata. Either way you have to ensure that the resource files get copied into the application bundle. The "proper" solution is to teach py2app how to copy eggs with their metadata and resources into the application bundle. That's on my todo list, but I don't know when I'll get around to actually implementing this.
