That's pretty much expected, but not usually to quite that degree. py2app pulls in more things by default than py2exe does so that it more reliably produces an application that works. Most of the files are going to be more than 2x larger because they're all compiled for PPC and x86 (PPC code is larger than x86 code). Once you compress it for distribution it should be a much more reasonable size. -bob _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
