I don't follow. All you'd need is a *.mpkg of the "runtime", and then
one for each applet. Or you could put them all in one.
One of the issues with a regular python distro is that the user could be
using that distro for something else. If they are doing that they may
well need/install different versions of various libraries, upgrade it,
whatever, and my applets could break. What I'd like is for my stuff to
depend only on a Python distro that I have control over. I thought maybe
Py2App would be an easy way to build such a thing.
I suppose I could create a python distro in:
/Library/Frameworks/MySpecialPythonFramework
and put what I need into that.
How hard would that be? Could I just make a copy of the regular one and
go from there, or is that path hard coded all over the place?
The other thing I need to learn is how to put a bunch of *.mpkgs
together into one meta-mpkg, so that I can install a bunch of stuff with
one click.
