Hello All,

We usually place our py2app created app bundles on DVD using toast's hybrid
Mac and PC file-system setting.  This works pretty well for us.
Unfortunately we have a need to place the same app bundle on a UDF DVD.
While this works great in testing, it seems the
Bundle.app/Contents/Resources/lib/site.py sym-link that points to
Bundle.app/Contents/Resources/site.py is broken when burning with toast.

I haven't verified this myself, but I'm told when using an unspecified
Windows burning tool that the symlink is replaced with the actual file (so
there is an actual physical site.py in both of those directories.

As I said, this seems to work anyway in testing (in both cases, the case
where the sym-link is broken and where the file is replicated), but I'd like
to be a little more informed about what's going on here and how important
this sym-link is before I allow it to be distributed around.

So my questions are:

(1) Is this something I should be worried about?

(2) Under what circumstances is the site.py in lib executed?

Thanks!
Jim

P.S. - Some stats that may or may not be relevant to answering the question:

Python 2.5
py2app 0.4.2
Toast 7.1
We always build on 10.4, target 10.4, 10.5, and are testing on 10.6 as well.
