wxPython - py2app setup script for simple app

[ateale]

Hey guys

I have just created a gui version of a script with wxpython and it seems to work properly when I run it from a shell.
(All my script does is create a set of folders with a bunch of subfolders)

I then used py2app to try build a standalone/distributable version of it. Once built the app runs and when I hit the "go" button it seems to work.

But it does not create any of the folders.

That is probably a poor explanation of what is going on - hopefully it makes some sense.

Any ideas?

Cheers!

Here is my script that I build with py2app:

Of course, The wxPython part looks fine.
Someone with Mac experience would be interested in the setup script contents.
I went to the py2app site; it's even more cryptic than the py2exe info that I've been able to gather. I'll include the link anyway: py2applet .
I don't know if a py2exe script example will be much help (finding out if p2e uses setuptools would answer some of that). There are p2e examples in the Articles section of this group.

Sorry to not be of more help.

:) Thanks for looking!
I haven't had any luck resolving the problem yet.

Can you recommend any other ways to create standalone python apps?

Thanks a lot!

This is old, but looks interesting. It seems that you may have an example setup script in the distro somewhere.

Here is a current link.

thanks, that's what I had been working from to get py2app going - but I can't find anything in there to answer why my app doesn't "do its thing"

Thanks for looking around!
