[Pythonmac-SIG] py2app newbie problems

[Arthur Debert]

Hi Bob.

Thanks for your prompt answer.
Yes, you were obvioulsy right, my sources files had null bytes on
them. The funny thing is, I got them cutting and pasting code from the
the wx demo... evil...

If I can make a suggestions, when you can, write an error message that
will warn about this together with the offending source file, line
number and char number. If that's possible, that would be great help!

I've hacked a utility to remove null byte chars from python source
files. It's not very efficient(the way it's reading the sources files
and all) but it works, maybe it can help somebody. I am attaching it
to this email, maybe it will be useful.

Again, thanks for you help, 
Arthur
