I have used py2app happily for years. With the change to ActivePython 2.7.2, my py2app script stopped running. SystemExit: error: argv-emulation is not supported for 64-bit executables Seems that there was (is?) a problem with argv emulation on the 64 bit version. I found two solutions. 1) Use ActiveState's pure 32 bit installer for Python 2.7.2. BUT, this uses Tcl 8.4, and I need 8.5 for unicode display. 2) Get rid of any use of argv use in my target application (which is a bit of a problem for my app. 3) Run my py2app script with python2.7-32 in a shell window, The script actually worked, but the constructed application failed, some problem in _get_argvemulator().mainloop(), which makes me think it is the same problem in a different guise. Is my application 64 bits even though compiled in 32 bit python? How would one tell py2app to use the 32 bit python as a base? So, while my application runs fine on my own machine I can't seem to use py2app to make a functional standalone. I was hoping cx_freeze would avoid some of these problems. But just got me deeper into debugging woes.
