[Pythonmac-SIG] 0.4.3 standalone plist issues

[hari jayaram]

Standalone and plist issues:
I am trying to build a standalone wxpython application
I am using python 2.6.3 and py2app 0.4.3
Here is what I have tried

1)hari$ type python
python is hashed (/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/python)


2) When I run: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/python
dhcp-129-64-45-53:src hari$
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/python
Python 2.6.3 (r263:75184, Oct  2 2009, 07:56:03)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.


3) I forced the non standalone build with semi_standalone:False in the
setup.py. I now get a standalone build with python in the following
location
/GridZilla.app/Contents/MacOS/python

4) trying to run the app I get a Plist error :
A Python runtime could be located.  You may need to install a
framework build of Python, or edit the PyRuntimeLocations array in
this application's Info.plist file.

5) If I look at the plist value it is set to:
@executable_path/../Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Python

This location does not exist : What Should I set it to to get the app to work?

6) I tried setting it to ../MacOS/python and the app failed to launch
with the message:
dhcp-129-64-45-53:dist hari$ open GridZilla.app
LSOpenFromURLSpec() failed with error -10810 for the file
/Users/hari/gzilla/src/dist/GridZilla.app.

SO I guess I can force standalone builds with -s option . But now the
Info.plist does not have the correct value.
How can I get the correct value

Thanks a lot in advance
hari
