Re: [Pyobjc-dev] py2app: unable to load nib-file

Hey Johan,

The problem is likely with your data_files declaration.  You can't  
just toss data_files a folder and have it intelligently include  
everything in it.  You have to give it a complete file list of  
everything you want included in your project.

Here's the code that I'm using to automatically populate data_files;  
it may have issues (probably should be modified to exclude .svn  
folders if you're using SVN, for instance), but at least it's an  
example of the kind of thing you'll need to do:

import os

# Sets what directory to crawl for files to include
# Relative to location of setup.py; leave off trailing slash
includes_dir = 'src'

# Set the root directory for included files
# Relative to the bundle's Resources folder, so '../../' targets  
bundle root
includes_target = '../../'

# Initialize an empty list so we can use list.append()
includes = []

# Walk the includes directory and include all the files
for root, dirs, filenames in os.walk(includes_dir):
     if root is includes_dir:
         final = includes_target
     else:
         final = includes_target + root[len(includes_dir)+1:] + '/'
     files = []
     for file in filenames:
         if (file[0] != '.'):
             files.append(os.path.join(root, file))
     includes.append((final, files))

setup(
     name='Foo',
     app = ['main.py'],
     data_files = includes,
)
