I have a program that I've been writing using Xcode, pyObjc and py2app. Up until this point I've been using the standard python on Mac OSX Tiger which is 2.3, it's been doing fine for me. I needed to use the subprocess module, so I installed 2.4 and changed the lead line in my setup.py file to read: #!/usr/local/bin/python2.4Now the application being created runs properly, but py2app is copying the entire python installation, documentation and all into the application bundle, making it about 28MB instead of the usual 2. Any idea why it's doing this?
That's by design. Py2app creates a standalone application bundle that you can copy to other machines to run without further setup. When you used Python 2.3 the application bundle referenced the system install of Python, which is present on all machines. When using Python2.4 py2app must copy the framework into your application to ensure that the bundle is really standalone.
