My wxPython application has a context sensitive help system, using wx.html.HtmlHelpController(), which also contains a Tutorial for the program. Users like to leave the Help window open while they are simultaneously working in the application. To allow this, I set the Help application up as a free-standing application that I can call from my regular application when it is needed. (This is necessary because of issues with menu construction.) My applications are built using py2app, so the call I've been using looks like this:
os.system('open -a TransanaHelp.app') This works on OS X 10.3, and it works when I'm running under Python on OS X 10.4, but I have not been able to get anything along these lines to work under OS X 10.4 once my app has been bundled up with py2app. It's like the Help app tries to launch, but then it immediately, and silently, shuts down. (i.e. the Console doesn't report anything.) os.spawnv() and os.popen2() don't work either. Does anybody have any ideas for how I can launch a bundled wxPython app from within another bundled wxPython app on OS X 10.4? Thanks for your help, David K.
