[Pythonmac-SIG] Subdirectories in py2app?

Hmmmm...OK, I'll see what I can do.

For what it's worth, wxGlade runs fine when packaged as an applet (in
that context, I save wxglade.py as an applet from Python IDE and then do
what I outlined earlier--add all the other files to the bundle
manually). It doesn't function as a standalone, obviously, because I
haven't added the wxPython libraries, but it runs fine when wxPython is
correctly installed.

So, I'll see if I can give your suggestion a try. I'll also see if
py2applet works. Barring that, I'll leave it as a "hacked applet." :-)

Thanks,
Kevin

| After having looked at wxGlade, it does a large number of things that

| big two are:
|
| - it expects to load code and data from the same place on the filesystem
| - it loads lots of code dynamically, only from the filesystem
|
| Basically what's needed is a packaged-application specific bootstrap for

| accordingly (it looks like the only source of this).. or else you will
| have to specify the widgets and code writers *as* data files and specify
| all of their dependencies explicitly.
