I like this. Now I have to figure out how to put another app inside a
Py2app'd bundle. The "main" app and the one inside would both be python
apps.
It looks to me like a Py2app bundle has a little stub as the executable.
Could I build two py2app bundles, of two different scripts, then just
drag the executable from one into the other to get two in one, that
would share all the resources?
I guess I'll go try.
