I have had similar problems with the "ImportError: No module named PyObjCTools" and actually sent my entire project to someone who was distributing a (beta) commercial product for some help.

He spent 4 hours on it, hacked the hell out of the startup modules and everything else and got it to build on his machine, then I couldn't duplicate his results on mine.

py2app needs some serious attention on the 10.5.6 stack and I'm willing to help get it going -- I just don't have the domain knowledge to get the ball rolling though I'm sure I could help keep it rolling once I knew where to poke the stick.

Hi guys,

I'm have a little trouble with py2app when building an app for distribution. I'll give an example using one of the py2app/pyobjc2 examples, ICSharingWatcher. I setup Python 2.5.4 using MacPorts 1.7.0, along with the following packages:

py25-bdist_mpkg @0.4.3_0 (active)
py25-macholib-devel @1.2_0 (active)
py25-modulegraph-devel @0.7.2_0 (active)
py25-py2app-devel @0.4.2_1 (active)
py25-pyobjc2 @2.0_1 (active)
py25-pyobjc2-cocoa @2.0_1 (active)
py25-setuptools @0.6c9_0 (active)
py25-zlib @2.5.4_0 (active)
python25 @2.5.4_0+darwin_9+macosx (active)
python_select @0.2.1_0+darwin_9 (active)
 * Some other modules were removed for brevity.

With the MacPorts version selected, in the ICSharingWatcher example, if I execute "python setup.py py2app", I get the following error message:

 pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: pyobjc

If I modify "setup.py" and change "install_requires=["pyobjc"]," to "install_requires=["pyobjc-core"]," or just comment out the line, then I can successfully build the example. However, on startup it complains "ImportError: No module named PyObjCTools".

I can clean up the build and dist directories, execute "python setup.py py2app -A" with this modified setup.py and the example runs just fine. I can run MacPort's python and import PyObjCTools without a problem. So, it seems that I'm just not telling py2app how to correctly include PyObjCTools.

Any ideas why the "pyobjc" package cannot be found? I'm running 10.5.6 and have XCode 3.1.2 installed.

Thanks,
Jacob

--------------------------------------------------
For reference, the setup.py in the example looks like:

from setuptools import setup

setup(
   data_files=['MainMenu.nib'],
   app=['ICSharingWatcher.py'],
   install_requires=["pyobjc"],
   setup_requires=["py2app"],
)
