[Pythonmac-SIG] Semi-standalone Qt py2app can't find qt.so

[Doug Anderson]

I'm not sure if it'll help, but I managed to set semi-standalone  
working by doing something like this (I've trimmed my actual usage,  
but I think this is all the important stuff):

PLIST = {\
             'PyResourcePackages': [
                 'lib/python2.4',
                 'lib/python2.4/lib-dynload',
                 'lib/python2.4/site-packages.zip',
             ],
         }

OPTIONS = {
            'argv_emulation': True,
            'plist': PLIST,
            'semi_standalone': True,
            'use_pythonpath': True,
}

...this got it to automatically include wxPython (which I wanted),  
but not to include python itself.  It was a long time ago when I did  
this (so I only vaguely remember), but I believe that the  
"PyResourcePackages" was absolutely critical.

Good luck!
