[Pyobjc-dev] PyObjC sources bundled with pbxbuild install

[Dinu G. <gh...@da...>]

Hi,

when I'm building a distribution of some application using the
"pbxbuild install", I see that the included PyObjC folder contains
all .py files in addition to the .pyc files and all test_*.py[c]?
files, too. A little investigation shows the following numbers for
PyObjC 0.9:

Foo.app/Contents/Resources/PyObjC/
   *.pyc : 326713 B
   *.pyo : 152776 B
   *.py  : 229737 B

So the question is: do we really need to include the .py and .pyo
files? If we don't, we'd save about 373 KB in the resulting app,
which is about 14 % of an empty doc-based Python app, installed
from the PB template. I deleted the .py and .pyo files and it
still works.

Another question is if the __main__.py in Contents/Resources
really needs to be a source file or if it could also be a byte-
compiled one? This only for consistency reasons...
