Folks, py2app doesn't seem to do "the right thing" with nested packages. However, it's not entirely clear what it should do...
example: the "pubsub" package is delivered with wxPython, so it is commonly imported thusly: from wx.lib.pubsub import Publisher However, in wx.lib.pubsub, there is some trickery in the __init___, so as py2app installs it, ot doesn't work (see previous messages to this and the wxPython list). However, if you do: packages = ['wx.lib.pubsub'] ... in your py2app setup.py, you get the entire pubsub package, but installed in : Peppy.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7/pubsub so it will work, but only if you now import it as: from pubsub import Publisher not too heinous, but it's really nice if we don't have to change imports for the bundled version. if I add 'wx' to packages, It does work, but I've then got all of wx, all of wx.lib, etc, which is really a bit much (the resulting app bundle is 124MB, vs. 60 without specifying the wx package) At first, I thought I'd want: wx/lib/pubsub/.... put on sys.path, with wx and lib empty except the specified dirs. However, that would put two "wx" dirs on sys.path, which would not be good (assuming wx is used...) Would it be possible for the packages specification to be processed after modulegraph is run, and it would then see that "wx" and "wx.lib" are there, and then put all of pubsub in there? Or maybe put the parts of wx and wx.lib that were already going to be included outside the zip bundle? -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/Pythonmac-SIG
