Charles,
That seems normal. Here's a bash script I use for compiling my
application. I don't mess with the setup.py once it's generated, and
this bash script seems to do the trick.
rm -r build
rm -r dist
py2applet --make-setup Decoder.py
python setup.py py2app --include DUtils,LabVIEWWrapper --packages
PyDrill,mx,Ft,ZODB,persistent,transaction,zope --resources
config.xml,file1.xml,file2.xml,file3.xml,logs > compile.log
cp -r /usr/local/Zope-3.3.1-Python2.5/lib/python/zope/interface /
Teledrill/Applications/Python/Decoder/dist/Decoder.app/Contents/
Resources/lib/pytho
n2.5/zope/
The first two lines simply clean out the old build.
The third line creates the setup.py file.
The fourth line actually compiles the app. The include files are
two .py files, local modules, that i need to include. The packages are
python packages on the python path that I want to include for use. The
resources are include files that my app needs, i've obscured their
actual names, and the command dumps out to a log.
The last line is a really silly way to correct a bug in py2app. When i
tell it to include zope, it doesn't include the "interface" sub-
module, so I forcefully copy it into the app.
I'm not sure if this is the right way to do it, but it's worked for me
so far.
Good luck.
Also feel free to ask any time. I ask questions all of the time.
Regards,
Kenneth Miller

Hm. I'm very puzzled. I tried
python setup.py py2app -A
and ended up with a tiny 192Kb "application." It runs fine on my
machine. But it surely doesn't have a Python built into it, at that
size. (The regular "python setup.py py2app" produces a monstrous
40Mb file.)
I don't mean to keep nagging you for help. Where's the best place to
find an explanation of the details of this?
Many thanks.

No, it bundles a python binary along with your source in a .app
package.

Thank you very much. Doesn't that depend on whatever Python is
built-in on the end-user's machine? I'd have to do some testing
(which I may not have properly equipped machines to do) to see
what my app will work with . . .
Best,

Check out py2applet, I use it all the time.

I mean *really* simple: I've been away from Python programming
for a
couple of years, and I've just gotten a query about an old open-
source
program posted on my website. I may have a fix for the problem the
user encountered, at least when I run from inside the Wing IDE.
My question is, what is the current best/simplest way to build a
freestanding application? I tried "python setup.py" with my old
setup.py file, but I get an error: setuptools not found. Maybe I
just
need to fix my path? It's been a couple of systems (a couple of
computers, for that matter) since I did this, and though I've
kept up
with current versions of Python (2.5), Wing, and wxPython (2.8.x),
I've probably neglected some basic housekeeping.
Pointers to a simple how-to-build-an-app doc would be welcome.
Thanks
for any help.
