Absolutely right -- thanks, Bob! That brings it down to 16Mb. By the way, Get Info still reports it as a PowerPC app (when built with Universal Python and wxPython and the new py2app, on an Intel iMac). How come? Should I worry about that?
Might it be a good idea to remove the reference link from undefined.org/python to the older py2app? I had forgotten the twists & turns, and that's where I went to check that I had the latest py2app. Charles Hartman On Jul 15, 2006, at 1:21 PM, Bob Ippolito wrote: > > On Jul 15, 2006, at 9:47 AM, Charles Hartman wrote: > >> I have an app from a year ago that needed one tweak.
