[Pythonmac-SIG] Fwd: size of py2app app

[Charles Hartman]

Here was Sudhakar's comment (thanks), but it doesn't seem to help.   
The Python version doesn't change (2.6), nor the version of wxPython.   
All that changes, as far as I can see, is the very small edits I'm  
making in the code.  For a while I thought trashing the old .app and  
the dist folder forced the smaller file-size, but now that doesn't  
seem to work either.  What am I missing about py2app?
