Hi there,
I've been reasonably successful in building an app bundle with py2app.
I'm running OS X Lion, python 2.7.2 (from python.org), wxpython
2.9beta, and my app
uses matplotlib and numpy.
Using py2exe, the final folder has 14MB, or 11MB compressed.
Using py2app, the .app has 250MB (!) or 100MB compressed with Disk utility
Examining the Contents of the .app, I can see that there's A LOT of
stuff I don't need,
like Editra (11MB), Locales, or Matplotlib "tests" folder (38MB)
So, how could I remove these itens from my app?
I tried the 'excludes' option in py2app setup.py, but without any luck.
Also, what are those "codecs" in lib-dynload? I have no idea what they are.
my setup.py follows. (BTW, I tried to run it without any reference to
'wx' but then
the app crashes)
many thanks
Carlos
I hope this isn't stating the obvious, but how about simply removing the
unwanted bits after running setup.py? I run my py2app builds from a
shell script because I have to do some additional manipulation of the
app bundle. Here's an excerpt from my build script:
#!/bin/sh
echo "Starting dist process..."
if [ -a cbk/Phynchronicity.dmg ]
then
rm cbk/Phynchronicity.dmg
fi
if [ -a cbk/Phynchronicity.app ]
then
rm -rf cbk/Phynchronicity.app
fi
python2.7 setup.py py2app
mkdir dist/Phynchronicity.app/Contents/lib
#copy the supporting libraries
for lib in libs/*
do
echo "Copying $lib library..."
cp -R -f $lib dist/Phynchronicity.app/Contents/lib
done
cp -rf dist/Phynchronicity.app cbk/Phynchronicity.app
ditto --rsrc --arch i386 --arch x86_64 cbk/Phynchronicity.app
cbk/Phynchronicity_intel.app
rm -rf cbk/Phynchronicity.app
mv cbk/Phynchronicity_intel.app cbk/Phynchronicity.app
...and so on.
Hope this helps,
Kevin
