[Pyobjc-dev] Don't want to ship sources

[Bob S. <rsw...@tr...>]

Has anyone tried to create a PyObjC application that includes only compiled
files rather than Python sources scripts?  I'm preparing a PyObjC
application for distribution and we don't want to ship the source files.
I've found that I can just change the buildapp.py to include *.pyc files and
everything works fine - except that the python interpreter doesn't want to
give me compiled files for every class.

So, my question is - is there a way to force python to create compiled files
for each class?  My approach has been to add this code to the buildapp.py
file:

    liststrFiles = [ fn[0 : len(fn-len(".py")] for fn in os.listdir('.') if
fn.endswith('.py') and fn not in ('buildapp.py', "myApp.py") ]
    for str in lststrFiles:
        exec("import " + str)

    srcs = [ fn for fn in os.listdir('.') if fn.endswith(".pyc") ]

and then to add srcs to the resources line in buildapp().  I don't include
the main script "myApp.py" since python gets confused about the NIB stuff.

Anyway, this approach doesn't work because not all of the files get compiled
into *.pyc files.  Is there any way to force this or is there another
approach to building the app without sources?
