Hello all, I'm working on a app for Structural Geology called OpenStereo (http://www.igc.usp.br/index.php?id=openstereo). It uses wxpython, matplotlib and numpy. I used py2exe to create a windows binary of about 15 Mb. Using py2app, the resulting .app is over 200 Mb!!
It seems to me that the issue here is that py2app bundles wx, matplotlib and scipy entirely. In my py2exe setup.py script I have this: includes = ['wx', 'os', 'sys', 'csv', 're', 'floatspin', 'scrolledpanel', 'customtreectrl', 'wx.lib.expando', 'wx.lib.pubsub', 'wx.lib.embeddedimage', 'wx.lib.wordwrap', 'types', 'matplotlib', 'matplotlib.pyplot', 'matplotlib.axes', 'matplotlib.figure', 'matplotlib.backends.backend_wxagg', 'mpl_toolkits.axes_grid.axislines', 'mpl_toolkits.axes_grid', 'matplotlib.patches', 'matplotlib.lines', 'matplotlib.text', 'matplotlib.mlab', 'matplotlib.nxutils', 'matplotlib.collections', 'matplotlib.font_manager', 'numpy', 'numpy.ma', 'numpy.linalg', 'math' ] #, 'scipy.interpolate' excludes = ['_gtkagg', '_tkagg', 'bsddb', 'curses', 'pywin.debugger', 'pywin.debugger.dbgcon', 'pywin.dialogs', 'tcl', 'Tkconstants', 'Tkinter', 'pydoc', 'doctest', 'test', 'sqlite3', 'bsddb', 'curses', 'email','_fltkagg', '_gtk', '_gtkcairo', '_agg2', '_cairo', '_cocoaagg', 'matplotlib.backends.backend_qt4agg','matplotlib.backends.backend_qt4', 'PyQt4', 'PyQt4.QtGui', 'PyQt4.QtCore' ] packages = ['encodings','pytz']#,'scipy'] dll_excludes = ['libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll', 'libgobject-2.0-0.dll', 'tcl84.dll', 'tk84.dll', 'libgdk_pixbuf-2.0-0.dll', 'libgtk-win32-2.0-0.dll', 'libglib-2.0-0.dll', 'libcairo-2.dll', 'libpango-1.0-0.dll', 'libpangowin32-1.0-0.dll', 'libpangocairo-1.0-0.dll', 'libglade-2.0-0.dll', 'libgmodule-2.0-0.dll', 'libgthread-2.0-0.dll', 'QtGui4.dll', 'QtCore.dll', 'QtCore4.dll' ] but using similar constructions in py2app doesn't seem to have any effect: OPTIONS = {'argv_emulation': True, 'packages': ['encodings','pytz', 'wx'], 'includes': ['os', 'sys', 'csv', 're', 'floatspin', 'scrolledpanel', 'customtreectrl','wx.lib.expando', 'wx.lib.pubsub', 'wx.lib.embeddedimage', 'wx.lib.wordwrap', 'types','matplotlib', 'matplotlib.pyplot', 'matplotlib.axes', 'matplotlib.figure','matplotlib.backends.backend_wxagg', 'mpl_toolkits.axes_grid.axislines', 'mpl_toolkits.axes_grid', 'matplotlib.patches', 'matplotlib.lines', 'matplotlib.text', 'matplotlib.mlab', 'matplotlib.nxutils','matplotlib.collections', 'matplotlib.font_manager', 'numpy', 'numpy.ma', 'numpy.linalg', 'math'], 'excludes': ['_gtkagg', '_tkagg', 'bsddb', 'curses', 'pywin.debugger','pywin.debugger.dbgcon', 'pywin.dialogs', 'tcl','Tkconstants', 'Tkinter', 'pydoc', 'doctest', 'test', 'sqlite3','bsddb', 'curses', 'email','_fltkagg', '_gtk', '_gtkcairo','_agg2', '_cairo', '_cocoaagg', 'matplotlib.backends.backend_qt4agg','matplotlib.backends.backend_qt4','PyQt4', 'PyQt4.QtGui', 'PyQt4.QtCore'], 'resources': ['icons/openstereo_icon_noname_256x256x32.png'], 'iconfile' : 'icons/openstereo_icon_noname.icns', } Any thought on this are very appreciated. best Carlos -- Prof. Carlos Henrique Grohmann - Geologist D.Sc.
