Hi, We have a python app we distribute on several platforms, including a py2app-built standalone application for Mac. Some of our data_files are platform-specific (icons, man pages…) and should therefore only be included where relevant. We use the MANIFEST.in mechanism to select which data_files get excluded from the builds produced. However, py2app does not seem to abide by it. We've also tried defining data_files more restrictively so that only desired files figures in it. The whole data/ folder gets included nonetheless. So far, the only solution we've found to this problem is to remove undesired files from the .app folder using a post-processing shell script (i.e. running after py2app). A rather inelegant hack. What is the standard way to get fine-grained control over what data files py2app includes/excludes? We noticed that, contrary to other setup.py build commands, py2app does not create a egg-info directory on its own. Is it normal beahvior? Would py2app follow this egg-info regarding data files, if we built one beforehand? Thanks! ___ ɹǝıʌıןo _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/Pythonmac-SIG
