[Pythonmac-SIG] Building an app with dependencies

[Alexandre Quessy]

Hi all,
I am trying to build a Python Mac OS X application that has quite a
lot of dependencies. We rely on wx, appscript, objc, zope, twisted and
more. Below I provide my setup.py script. I am trying to use py2app
(version py2app-0.3.6-py2.4.egg) as mentionned on the page
http://svn.pythonmac.org/py2app/py2app/trunk/doc/index.html#uninstalling-py2app-0-2-x-or-earlier
.
When I try to build it I get the following error : "running py2app
"""
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/py2app-0.3.6-py2.4.egg/py2app/build_app.py",
line 548, in _run
    self.run_normal()

line 600, in run_normal
    mf = self.get_modulefinder()
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/py2app-0.3.6-py2.4.egg/py2app/build_app.py",
line 508, in get_modulefinder
    debug=debug,

(Pdb) interrupted"
"""

.... below is my complete setup.py script.
Anyone has an idea on why i get this ? Is one of my arguments of a bad type ?
Also, is there an alternative to listing the whole list of packages
and modules to be included in the app?
I am using Tiger, but I would like this to work also on Leopard, if possible.
Thanks !!
