[Pythonmac-SIG] bundlebuilder --standalone not working

[Bob Swerdlow]

I added --package=encodings and application seems to be working well now.

That warning about XML seems inappropriate:
    DeprecationWarning: The xmllib module is obsolete.  Use xml.sax instead.
We ARE using xml.sax and I don't see why xmllib is getting called at all -
could this be coming from some other package rather than our code?  Can I
safely ignore these warnings?

The bundle is now 8MB, which is pretty large for downloading.  Is there any
way to reduce the size?

Thanks,
Bob
