I definitely agree with this. Py2app lets my self-contained Python apps conform to the platform norm that users are expecting. In that respect it's along the lines of py2exe (plus something like InnoSetup) on Windows letting me match those user's expectations with a single binary installer (exe or msi) that they can just run. For my Mac users, they want a DMG that contains the app to drag to Applications, or the mpkg to do the installation for them. So pretty much anything I'm going to supply them is going to use py2app first, then get packaged (optionally with PackageMaker) into a DMG through hdiutil. It also has the added benefit of having absolutely no dependence on their local environment, aside from core OSX system libraries. -- David _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/Pythonmac-SIG
