Re: [Pyobjc-dev] PyObjC with PyInstaller

It is a cross-platform python application bundler; it bundles the python
interpreter, your application, and all required dependencies into one
executable.

> Does PyInstaller include package data? There should be bridgesupport files in the python package for Cocoa frameworks, that there should be a file named  PyObjC.bridgesupport next to Foundation/__init__.py (and simularly for other frameworks).

Unfortunately, it does something a little nutty.  It seems to copy all
the dependencies into one flat directory, and renames them to avoid
collisions.  It is copying all the CoreFoundation/*.so files out of my
system python's site-packages, but it skips the .bridgesupport file, and
I think that's at least part of the problem.

No worries, it's nothing PyObjC is doing wrong, I just wanted to see if
anyone here has solved this problem already.

Thanks,
