I think the short answer is yes.<br>
I've had no trouble with py2app getting all my dependencies.<br>
You have a bigger app so it may need some extra tweaking, but py2app
has lots of commands to include and exclude stuff. It is similar to
py2exe from what I can tell.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hello!
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm developing a desktop application called GarlicSim:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><a href="http://garlicsim.org">http://garlicsim.org</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I want to distribute it natively to all OSes.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>On Windows I have already succeeded packaging it with py2exe and
InnoSetup.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have not touched py2app yet. Do you think that py2app could
bundle all the packages I want?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I want to bundle the entire Python standard library. (My
program is a sort of a science lab, and a very important part of it is
a Python shell that I provide, and I want my users to be able to use
all of Python.)</div>
<div>I want to bundle wxPython and cairo. (I'm especially worried
about
cairo.) My app is wxPython-based and I want to use cairo for drawing
widgets.</div>
<div>I want to bundle a big selection of scientific
modules. Scipy, numpy, Traits, Mayavi (With VTK, which is especially
hard to install.) Pretty much most of the things that Enthought
provides.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Note that with py2exe I've been able to do all of
the above, (except I haven't finished bundling all the scientific
libraries, just most of them.)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>(And no, I don't mind my app weighing 1GB.)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Will py2app be able to bundle all these things and how much hair
will I have left on my head after I get it working?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>(Please `cc` any replies to me.)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for your help,</div>
<div>Ram Rachum.</div>
