We saw the same problem with VisTrails (www.vistrails.org).

It seems that python.org's python can't build the fonts in ~/.matplotlib on snow leopard. We noticed that importing matplotlib.axis using Apple's python will do that.

So this is the work-around we found for vistrails (bundled with python.org 2.5)

In a terminal on snow leopard:

$ rm -rf ~/.matplotlib
$ cd /Applications/Vistrails.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.5
$ DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib /System/Library/Frameworks/ Python.framework/Versions/2.5/bin/python

>>> import matplotlib.axis

Now running the app again works.

The DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is necessary because of problems we saw with different versions of libgcc_s.1.dylib present in the system and the wrong one was being loaded.

I don't think it's a py2app bug because I can reproduce it by just running python.org's python and importing matplotlib.axis.

I guess it is a bug in matplotlib.

I'm getting my Py2app build running and think I've worked around some issues, but another major one has come up. My application is being built on OS X 10.5.8, where matplotlib is, oviously, installed. On another 10.5.X machine without any of the app's dependencies, my compiled app runs just fine. Today, I tried getting it running on a new Mac with Snow Leopard, 10.6, and get the following bus error.

From the crash report, it looks like these are relevant:

I'm not really sure where to go from here. I've read a few other things which hint at Snow Leopard being a bit of a headache: http://bit.ly/2Z2Cil

Has anyone run this setup before?  Suggestions?
