[Pythonmac-SIG] What py2app options keyword will add everything within a package?

[Dave Peterson]

I'm trying to use py2app to build an app bundle for an application that, 
at runtime, imports different backend packages based on the environment 
it finds itself running in.   It then uses a redirect mechanism to 
import symbols from within this backend package.  Since I know what I'm 
bundling, I know what packages to include but I can't seem to figure out 
how to tell py2app to include *ALL* modules within that package, i.e. 
all modules in all sub-packages.   My situation is also complicated by 
the fact that the package in question is inside of a namespace package.

I've tried various combinations of things such as:

1) setting 'includes' to 'python.path.to.package.*' but that only 
includes the modules in the top-level of the package

2) setting 'packages' to 'python.path.to.package' but I get an error 
saying that "No module to 'path' (because 'python' is a namespace package?)

and a bunch of other attempts.

BTW: Are there some docs that clearly describe the difference between 
the options 'includes', 'packages', 'modules'?  I can't seem to find any 
after numerous searches for py2app or py2exe docs.
