Re: [cx-freeze-users] Failure to run after build on Mac

[Matthew T. A. <ma...@gm...>]

Thanks Kevin, Dan.

I was/am using the system Python.  I did try not using the system Python,
as Kevin suggested, but then PyGUI [1] seemed unable to load; it was unable
to import its platform-specific modules that implement the PyGUI API using
a given platform's native widget-drawing routines.

I then went back to the system Python and implemented Dan's suggested code,
which controls the import of objc -- it seems (and makes sense) that it's
PyGUI that depends on this on OS X.  When I ran my script normally, it
worked fine.  However when I ran it from the frozen app bundle, I got the
following stack trace.

Two things concern me about the below error.  One is that it only fails
*after* cx_Freeze has been run, but it seems to look like it's referring to
cx_Freeze scripts (I wouldn't have thought that necessary).  My other
concern is that it seems again to be loading stuff from the system Python
when it ought to be looking in the .app bundle.

I'm now left with two avenues I could pursue -- either try to get PyGUI to
load when I'm using the homebrew-installed Python, or try to fix the below
error.  I'm quite puzzled by the below, so maybe if this is not anything
you've seen before, I should try the other way…

Thank you for your time and input so far.  If anything occurs to you after
looking at the below stack trace, I'd be grateful if you could let me know.
