Hi Dave,
Thank your for pointing me to setup.cfg. I make standalones for windows,
linux, and OS X, so it will definitely help take some of the confusion
out of my setup.py.
However, when passing trying to build semi-standalone, the module does
make it into the application bundle, but the python interpreter doesn't
seem to know where to find it. Is there something I can specify in
setup.cfg or setup.py that will point the interpreter to the included
module, or will I need to make another test and programmatically set
sys.path inside of my python code? If this is solved by setup.cfg, then
forgive me--I haven't had a chance to try it yet.
Below is the relevant part of my setup.py.
James

options={'py2app': OPTIONS},

)
else:
print 'Directory "dist" exists. Doing nothing.'
