So, in the end, Nathan was right. The following helped me:

That might help you, but leaves the bug in py2app. Phrased

stay around until I get around fixing it which might take a while
(especially because the bug for some reason doesn't affect me).

differently: this is a nice short-term hack, but it would be better py2app were changed to not require this hack. I'd really appreciate

installed software is placed as early as possible on sys.path.

You could try running without it, --site-packages shouldn't be

Are you by any change using the '--site-packages' option of py2app? If so, you run into a (mis-)feature of setuptools: the easy_install.pth file in site-packages contains an nasty hack that ensures that easy- necessary for a self-contained application bundle. In the longer run it would be nice to change the code that --site-packages injects into

Yes, you are right. Well, if I don't use --site-packages, my app

by some other means.

complains SIP is missing… I guess I will have to include it in the app

Aha, seems like 'includes': ['sip'], did the trick when I placed it in

my setup.py.


--use-pythonpath work "nicely" in alias mode…

I think I got my setup.py wrong because things like --site-packages or

Seems like I still have to use sys.path.insert(0,
'../Resources/lib/python2.5/site-packages.zip') anyway. If I include
sip, I can drop --site-packages. But if I drop that sys.path.insert,
wrong Twisted library is used anyway.



Sorry I'm spamming this list with my thoughts like this. If you are on
IRC or Jabber, we could discuss it there and then post (re)solution
here.

By the way, I have installed Twisted from their dmg (not through easy_install).

Could you post the exact setup you're using again:

- Which version of OSX?

- Which copy of python (/usr/bin/python, Python.org installer, ...)

- How did you install PyQt (and which version)?

- How did you install Twisted (and which version)?

- The setup.py you're using

- Link to the software

- Anything else that might be relevant to reproduce the problem

I don't have time to look into this right now, but hopefully will have some time this weekend. I'm slowly gearing up for a new release of PyObjC and would like to fix as much issue in py2app &friends as well. BTW. the (setuptools==dev, py2app==dev) issue seems to trivial, macholib uses a class that turns out to be private to pkg_resources and that class was moved elsewhere.

I'm kind of lost in all of these path issues… :/

No idea about libjpeg issue?

Ronald

I guess macholib doesn't pick up that dependency for some reason. You could copy the jpeg bit by hand to get going again.
