[Pythonmac-SIG] Working with Bundlebuilder.py

[Kevin Ollivier]

Hi Justin,

Aha! I actually do need PyXML, but this tip helped me to find the 
problem. When I unzipped the Modules.zip inside the Resources folder of 
my .app bundle, and checked inside the _xmlplus package, I noticed that 
the .so files (pyexpat.so and sgmlop.so) were missing from 
Resources/_xmlplus/parsers. When I copied them into 
Resources/_xmlplus/parsers, it solved the problem!

It seems that when you include a package, it basically appends each 
submodule in the package to the importModules list, is this correct? It 
may be worth having it do a straight copy of the entire package 
instead, as in this case it missed some supporting files. Would there 
be any problems with using this approach?

Thanks for your help!

Kevin
