Is there any way to add a documentation package to the mpkg created by bdist_mpkg? Or are there convenient (i.e. scriptable) tools for adding it in the end? Another limitation I ran into is dependencies. I don't mind writing test scripts by hand, but it would be nice if I could integrate them into the mpkg as part of an automated build procedure. At the momentI hardly ever update my Mac packages because it's too much manual work.
You can use bdist_mpkg from the setup script and add additional subpackages that way. PyObjC uses this to ship the examples and Xcode templates, this is implemented setup-lib/pyobjc_mpkg.py in the PyObjC source-tree.
PyObjC's installer also used to include dependencies, but that functionality got dropped with the move to setuptools. I want to restore this functionality because as you said it is very convenient to have a single installer that installs a package and all of its dependencies, even in a world where setuptools exists.
