[Pythonmac-SIG] Installing modules with py2app

[Mier, Alejandro]

Hi

I am using a separate Python install (ActivePython 2.6 ), so that's not it

Thanks

Did you build the app bundle with the Python that came with OSX, or did you install a separate Python install from python.org<http://python.org> and use that? You have to do the latter; py2app's not allowed to include components of the operating system in the apps it generates. Windows gets around this problem by not having a standard Python install.

Hello

I have a script that installs Python, and then installs some modules with:

subprocess.call("python setup.py install")

The script works on Windows with py2exe, but gives me this error when using py2app:

File setup.py
   from distutils.core import setup
ImportError: No module named distutils.core

I tried explicitly including distutils when building the .app bundle, with python setup.py py2app --packages distutils (and several variations of --includes), but then I get this error:

error: invalid command 'install'

What do I need to do to make this work on mac?

Thanks!
