That's a lame restriction of the App Store. The "Current" symlink is only used while linking and is useless for embedded frameworks. But as Apple is unlikely to change their requirements because I don't like what they are doing py2app will have create application bundles that follow their requirements. Py2app currently does not have an option to recreate the "Current" symlink when copying frameworks into the application bundle. I've filed a feature request in the py2app tracker that asks to always recreate the "Current" symlink: https://bitbucket.org/ronaldoussoren/py2app/issue/43/add-current-symlink-to-embedded-frameworks Ronald > > --Kevin > > -- > Kevin Walzer > Code by Kevin > http://www.codebykevin.com > _______________________________________________ > Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig > unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/Pythonmac-SIG
