Hi,

I'm trying to use this version of py2app.  I'm encountering the
following error:

error: can't copy 'favorites': doesn't exist or not a regular file

This is true: favorites is a directory, not a regular file.  However the
same setup.py works for Windows, Linux *and* on OS X (if I use 'python
setup.py py2app' rather than 'python setup.py bdist_mpkg').

My setup.py is as follows:

from distutils.core import setup
import sys, glob

if sys.platform == 'win32':
    import py2exe
    buildstyle = 'windows'
    packager = 'py2exe'
elif sys.platform == 'darwin':
    import py2app
    buildstyle = 'app'
    packager = 'py2app'
else:
    buildstyle = 'console'
    packager = None

setup(name='Project DU Reader',
      version = '1.0',
      description = 'Themeable RSS reader',
      author = 'Cliff Wells',
      author_email = 'clifford.wells at comcast.net',
      url = 'http://www.projectdu.com/',
      options = {packager: {'packages': ['encodings', 'twisted'],
                            'excludes': ['pywin', 'pywin.debugger', 'pywin.debugger.dbgcon',
                                         'pywin.dialogs', 'pywin.dialogs.list',
                                         'Tkinter', 'Tkconstants', 'tcl', 'Tk']
                            }},
      data_files=[('', ['DU_Icon.ico', 'favorites', 'icons', 'themes'])],
                 
      **{buildstyle: [{'script': 'du.py',
                       'icon_resources': [(1, 'DU_Icon.ico')],
                       }]}
      )


For 'favorites' and 'icons' I could simply use glob.  However the
'themes' directory is about three levels deep and I'd like to avoid
having to do a ton of work to generate that particular file list, esp
since it is large and changes frequently.

Any help appreciated.

Regards,
Cliff
