In my (probably unusual) situation, it's not dynamic imports: I have these helper apps that I'm including in the main app bundle. I wanted to have their Frameworks and lib directories just be symlinks to the top level, which then had to have the sum of all the modules.

I was looking for a nice way to do that from the options, but that's the specific thing that's missing. That said, the code to just directly merge the zips and lib-dynload directories was pretty straightforward and seems to be working well.

[Pythonmac-SIG] Question about py2app packages and includes options
I am trying to package a main .app with helper apps in Main.app/Resources/Helper.app, and I want to have a single Resources/lib directory and a single Frameworks/ directory to cut down on space. So I'm tweaking the main app's includes and packages options to get all the dependencies in one place, and relying on the automatic logic won't work. My question is: why does 'packages' copy the package recursively, but not into the .zip, while 'includes' only gets single modules? I was expecting packages to put the whole package in the .zip, and I didn't find any explanation in the docs. This is a minor point, since it works fine with 'packages' doing what it does, it'd just be nice to get them into the zip. Thanks, -mike ___ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/Pythonmac-SIG

On Tue, Jul 17, 2012 at 11:03 AM, Michael McCracken My question is: why does 'packages' copy the package recursively, but not into the .zip, because there are packages that don't work right if zipped -- so this gets around that. while 'includes' only gets single modules? I suspect it's because there should be a way to include a particular module without the whole package. Essentially: includes adds a module to list, just as thought there were an import module name line in the code -- it is used to cover dynamic imports that won't be caught by walking the code. packages makes na compete copy of the package, and puts it outside the zip bundle -- this is fro including packages that have auxiliary files, etc, and/or can't be zipped for other reasons. It's a big ugly, but I've managed to put packages into the zip with something like this: includes = [package, package.subpackage package.subpackage.module1 package.subpackage.module2 ] for some reason (is it a bug? -- or has it been fixed?) doing: includes = [ package.subpackage.module] puts module in the root, so it's there but can't be imported the same way.

I don't have time to test, but I think that's been fixed. However, it's no fun if you have a lot of subpackages to add that way. For what it's worth, the approach I'm now taking is to create the full packages for each helper app, then just directly add the missing files in site-packages.zip and lib-dynload from the helper into the main app. Using ZipFile, it's not too bad. I looked at the source for how py2app uses modulegraph, to see if I could just generate the dependencies for the sub apps and pass them as the 'includes' for the main app, but that seemed involved enough that I ended up doing the above. -mike HTH, - Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/ORR(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 ___ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/Pythonmac-SIG
