[Pythonmac-SIG] portability problem with py2app-built app

2005-01-23 Thread has
Hi, Having a problem with a semi-standalone app built using py2app 0.1.7. Building it OMM (OS10.2.8, MacPython 2.3.3) and the app works fine here, but on the user's machine (OS10.3, standard Apple-installed MacPython) it shows a dialog saying that it requires Python 2.3. What's wrong? Thanks,

I have to say I fall between the two positions. Writing applications that have some pedagogical component, as I often do, and finding that 90% of students can't run it because it runs only on Mac, gets really, really tiresome in the long run. (An old tutorial Hypercard stack is still waiting fo
