I've created an issue for this <https://bitbucket.org/ronaldoussoren/pyobjc/issue/59/add-py2app-to-dependency-list-of-pyobjc>. At the very least the installation of py2app should be mentioned in the installation manual for PyObjC and I agree that it would be better to just add py2app to the list of install_requires of the PyPI package "pyobjc". There is a usecase for not using py2app with pyobjc, for example folks using Xcode to build application bundles. However, py2app and its dependencies are very small and "forcing" users of pyobjc to install py2app as well isn't really a problem. If I get bored I'll probably create some Xcode templates that use py2app to do the work, but before I do that I need to finish pyobjc 3.0 :-) Ronald _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/Pythonmac-SIG
