Hi all, I just posted a question about py2app to stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19734558/py2app-how-can-i-run-tests-using-the-bundled-python-interpreter For your convenience, I've also pasted the question below. Any responses (via your preferred venue :-) are much appreciated. Many thanks, Stuart I use py2app to package my application. A few quick notes about my app: - It uses a special python executable (i.e. non-system python), which py2app includes in the bundle. - I explicitly exclude a few packages from site-packages.zip using the py2app recipe feature. In the past, I've sometimes had issues with my app bundle because I forgot to exclude certain packages from site-packages.zip. This was easy to fix once I discovered the problem, but I wasn't quick to discover it because the packages in question *mostly* worked. The problem only showed itself after testing special cases that happen to exercise specific submodules in the problematic dependency. In order to avoid problems like this in the future, I want to run a test suite using the same exact interpreter that py2app includes in my bundle. For that to work, I need the proper environment setup that is somehow automatically created when the app starts up (including PYTHONPATH, DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, etc.). Just using ./dist/MyBundle.app/Contents/MacOS/python to run my tests doesn't seem to do the trick. What's the recommended method to run tests on the fully built app bundle itself? _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/Pythonmac-SIG
