[Pythonmac-SIG] Subject:, Could py2app bundle all the requirements of my package?

[Brendan Simon (eTRIX)]

I think the short answer is yes.
I've had no trouble with py2app getting all my dependencies.
You have a bigger app so it may need some extra tweaking, but py2app has
lots of commands to include and exclude stuff.  It is similar to py2exe
from what I can tell.

Cheers, Brendan.
