Thanks, as always.
Working on a setup.py file again, I'm realizing I need to know more (surprise!). But where to look? I've read through the Distutils doc since that seems like essential background. And I've read the bit I get with help(py2app) in an interactive Python window. But I'm still not intelligently reading the sample setup.py files in examples etc. I need to know more about plists, for one thing -- is there a good little intro on them? Or am I wrong to emphasize them? My goal is to make setup.py files that will work for both py2app and py2exe, since I have to build Windows executables for some of my colleagues.
"help(py2app)" is probably pretty useless, you want "python setup.py py2app --help"
And here's a *really* simple thing I don't understand: I've got a data file I need to include in my app. I know how to specify it on the py2app command line (python setup.py py2app --resources mydatafile) -- but where do I put it in the setup.py file? (I want it to get included in a py2exe build, too.)
Add it to data_files in the setup(....).. both py2app and py2exe should understand that.
setup(
app = [....],
data_files = [myfile],
)It would probably be helpful to look around in the py2app examples.
