[Pythonmac-SIG] Re-linking app with system Tk frameworks

[Kevin Walzer]

Hi,

To deploy my Tkinter app to the Mac App Store, it has to be linked 
against the system Tcl/Tk frameworks because Tk uses internal/private 
API calls. (You can't submit an app that makes such calls directly, but 
apparently system-installed libraries are exempt.) My last build of 
Python linked against /System/Library/Tcl.framework and friends, but a 
more recent build I'm using links against 
/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework et al.

Is there an install_name_tool trick I can run with py2app to make sure 
my deployed Tkinter app links against the system framework rather than 
my own installation in /Library/Frameworks? I don't want to have to 
rebuild Python to achieve this effect, but my previous experience with 
py2app suggests that it's the only way to make sure py2app doesn't 
vaccum up the /Library/Framework bits.
