Summary: bundlebuilder Info.plist files.

Initial Comment:
Spotted by Edward Moy:
-----------
8) In BuildApplet.app/Contents/Info.plist, the 
CFBundleIdentifier needs to be a reverse-dns format 
(org.python.BuildApplet; in the WWDC preview, I have 
accidentally made it com.apple.BuildApplet).  It also needs a 
CFBundleShortVersionString entry (I just used 1.0 for the 
WWDC preview).
------------

This needs a couple of changes, really:
- bundlebuilder needs a way to specify these, plus sensible 
defaults.
- the same for BuildApplet, when it calls bundlebuilder
- Mac/OSX/Makefile needs to be adapted to use the new 
options.

If you don't have the time to fix all of these please go as far 
as you can and reassign back to me.

It appears this is all fixed.

Yes, I guess you're right. bundlebuilder should put valid default 
values in the plist files and that's it. Our applets will just have to 
come with their own plist files. So I'd say rip out the bundle_id 
option but put in a valid bundle ID and version number, and please 
either create plist files for our applets (and use these in Mac/OSX/
Makefile) or put in a bug report to that effect on my name.

Oops, you're right, I was too fast: I indeed didn't do BuildApplet or 
CFBundleShortVersionString.

I'm worried about bundlebuilder feature-bloat, though: the net --
bundle-id flag is only a convenience to avoid creating an explicit 
plist. BuildApplet could easily create the plist "manually", and that 
would in fact be the more general solution, so I'm tempted to rip 
--bundle-id out again.

Do all bundles *have* to specify CFBundleShortVersionString? If 
so, should bundlebuilder simply use "1.0" if it's not specified in the 
plist?

I got the impression that you only did step 1 (bundlebuilder), not 
BuildApplet and Mac/OSX/Makefile, right? Also, did you do the 
CFBundleShortVersionString bit too?

Again, reassign to me if you don't feel like hacking this.

Done, except they're named bundle_id and --bundle-id.

IMO the sensible default is what we have now (and what a _lot_ of 
commercial apps do as well, just have a look at ~/Library/
Preferences/*.plist). For the applets shipping with Python it would 
indeed be much better if the bundle id started with "org.python.". I 
suggest to add a --bundle-identifier switch (and a bundle_identifier 
kwarg). I will do this unless you disagree.
