I hope someone on this list can help… I haven’t been able to find many answers
on the web.
Environment: Mac OS 10.8 & 10.11, Python 2.7.6, py2app 0.14
I create a Mac application bundle from python, using `py2app`, on Mac OS 10.8.
This seems to work fine. I then build an installer package using `pkgbuild` and
`productbuild`. That appears to build with no errors, until I try to use the
installer to install the package.
I'm running the installer on MacOS 10.11 (it will also have to run on MacOS
10.8-10.13). The installation fails, with the following in the install.log:
Dec 21 15:14:46 Erics-10-11-Mac-VM shove[30757]: [src=nonrestricted]

The issue seems to be that the installer wants to copy (or do something with)
`Contents/Resources/include/pyconfig.h` into
`/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework...` but that operation is not
permitted. It's presumably not permitted due to the MacOS System Integrity
Protection on `/System/`.
This raises a couple of questions:
1. What exactly is the installer trying to do by copying `pyconfig.h` into a
System directory (which is expressly prohibited?) Besides, there's already a
`pyconfig.h` there.
3. What can I do to fix this? Somehow tell `py2app` not to put `pyconfig.h` in
the `include` folder? Tell the installer to not copy it into the `System`
folder? Is there a workaround? Disabling `SIP` is not an option.
Note that I'm constrained to build on MacOS 10.8, and install on arbitrary
systems from MacOS 10.8 - 10.3.
Thanks for your help!
