[Pythonmac-SIG] Bundlebuilder--why remove it?

2009-12-09 Thread Kevin Walzer
After spending some time getting bundlebuilder to work with my 64-bit programs, I have begun to wonder: what's the rationale for removing it from Python 3.X? Its Carbon dependencies can be eliminated by simply removing the "import argvemulator" statement, so (as far as I can see) there is no s

Hi, I am porting an app that was initially written for Windows and Linux to OSX. For Linux an .rpm is created, for Windows I used a py2exe setup.py script. I adapted that script for OSX, and it seems to do a lot of work, generates an App Bundle, but in the Contents/Resources directory only the m

Ron, Search this list and you'll a number of good discussions of py2app, but a few hints: 1) use the latest version: easy_install py2app==dev (at least I think that's the syntax) generates an App Bundle, but in the Contents/Resources directory only the main .py file is created, not all oth

I just want to add a vote (plea, whimper) from somebody who writes Python programs, doesn't feel particularly comfortable with Terminal or bash, and wants to be able to make distributable apps for Mac. And keep making them as Python and associated libs get updated. I may be wrong, but I t
