[Pythonmac-SIG] Py2app: import errors while running the installed app (PyQt4.Qt imports)

[Ninad Sathaye]

Hi Ronald, 

Thanks for the reply. I tried the command you suggested (with a minor
modification)

python setup.py py2app --packages=PyQt4 

But during the pkg building process, it printed same error:  " malformed object
(unknown flavor for flavor number 0 in 
 LC_UNIXTHREAD command 10 can't byte swap it) "

(A) The pkg got built after this but the installed app failed to start...this
time, it was unable to find PyQt4.Qt module. The package contents showed PyQt4
folder under "Contents/Resources/lib/python2.3/"

(B) I manually transferred this PyQt4 to site-packages.zip ...it seemed to
resolve the above import problem but this time it was unable to import Image
module  (Note: I could find this module under
Contents/Resources/lib/python2.3/site-packages.zip ) .  

[ Item (B) above could be a different issue so I will stop here unless someone
asks for further details ]

P.S.  In my last email, I neglected to mention about the errors I received
during the package building process. The problem was similar to the one
described in this post:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/pythonmac-sig/2006-August/018084.html  and the
temporary fix suggested there resolved it. (at least the pkg got built)
