I really want to use eggs, but I *have* to use py2app. Basically, the issues that I see are: 1) modulegraph needs to know about eggs so that it can track down the dependencies of things in the eggs 2) the eggs should either be put into the site-packages.zip file in the bundle in "basket" form, or should be tossed directly into the site-packages directory. For the first point, I'm curious if modulegraph already knows about zip packages. I didn't see anything in the code that immediately jumped out at me saying "hey! this package is zipped up". What I had seen was that the contents of eggs were just being ignored. If module graph does have some knowledge about zip libraries, that would probably translate well. As for #2, the ideal would probably be to put everything in basket form in site-packages.zip. I figure that by opening up the eggs and only pulling out the referenced parts, the overall app can be smaller. Any package resources need to get in there, though. For expedience, though, I'm quite find with a little bit larger app that has the .egg files stored directly in site-packages with a .pth file. Any commentary on the difficulty involved here? (Bob?) Thanks, Kevin
