Thanks for your replies. I managed to come up with something that worked! I had to do a couple of things, for those that are interested…
I needed to upgrade py2app to version 0.8, which fixed a problem in the version we were using (0.7.3) where file permissions were not preserved when copying files into the application bundle. As an aside, I tried the most recent version (0.14), but it created a new and different problem (which I can’t recall at the moment). In the pkgbuild command, I had been using —root instead of —component when creating the component package from the application. Using —root made a package that expected to install its own python, which is why it was trying to mess with the /System Python.Framework directory. Using —component made things work. :) Hope may this will help someone someday. -EricF > On Dec 23, 2017, at 10:38 AM, Sean Wayland <seanwayl...@gmail.com> wrote: > > The other thing I remember is that tkinter is incompatible with py2app.. > > On Dec 23, 2017 10:21 AM, "Sean Wayland" <seanwayl...@gmail.com > <mailto:seanwayl...@gmail.com>> wrote: > I tried this once.
