<TITLE>Problems with py2app and wx on leopard</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<!-- Converted from text/plain format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I'm experiencing a bit of odd behavior with py2app and wx. The shared<BR>
object files from wx, when inspected with otool, are looking for:<BR>
<BR>
/usr/lib/libwx_macud-2.8.0.dylib (compatibility version 2.6.0, current<BR>
version 2.8.4)<BR>
<BR>
That is based on wx installed in the site-packages of the system python that<BR>
ships with leopard.<BR>
<BR>
Now I installed python from python.org, got wxPython source, and tried<BR>
again. This time, in my wx directory, otool shows no such requirement.<BR>
That's what I want, so that works well.<BR>
<BR>
But it turns out that py2app was still pulling from the system wx. So I set<BR>
use_pythonpath to True, thinking it would prefer mine over the system one.<BR>
Now it is including *both*, mine goes to Frameworks in the app bundle, while<BR>
the system one goes into Resources in the app bundle. At runtime, if I'm<BR>
running on a system without the libwx_macud-2.8.0.dylib file, it still<BR>
fails. This is what I am seeing when I grep for _windows_ (one of the so<BR>
files from wx) from my py2app build output:<BR>

So how do I make py2app ignore the system install version of wx completely?<BR>
