[Pythonmac-SIG] py2app, eggs and entry points

[Nathan R. Yergler]

I have an application that I'd like to package using py2app, but I'm
getting a little stuck with things.  I *think* my problem is that my
setup.py is fully setuptools-ized and my application script lives
inside my package.  Here's the call I make to setup():

setup(name='cclookup',
      version='2.0',
      url='http://wiki.creativecommons.org/CcLookup',
      author='Nathan R. Yergler',
      author_email='nathan at creativecommons.org',

      packages = ['cclookup', 'tagger', 'eyeD3'],

      setup_requires = setup_requirements,
      install_requires = ['setuptools',
                          'rdflib==2.3.3',
                          'ccrdf>=0.6a4',
                          'cctagutils>=0.5a1',
                          'rdfadict',
                         ],
      include_package_data = True,
      zip_safe = False,

      entry_points = {
        'console_scripts':['cclookup = cclookup:main'],
      },
      app=['cclookup/app.py'],
      options={ "py2exe": {"packages": ["encodings", 'rdflib']},
                "py2app": {"argv_emulation": True,
                           "iconfile": os.path.join('cclookup',
'resources', 'cc.icns')
                           }
                },
      )

When I try to run this with py2app, it crashes into pdb complaining
that it can't locate pkg_resources.  Running the super-simplified
version of setup.py generated by py2applet builds correctly, but has
the following problems:

* dependencies aren't included (I'm not sure if py2app actually
attempts to scan for them like py2exe or not, so this may not be
py2app's fault in the least)
* app.py is included by itself, as opposed to as part of the package.

I think that ideally I'd be able to specify my application as a
gui_scripts entry point to setup(), and have it play nicely with the
eggs specified in install_requires.  I saw the docs mentioned that a
future version would use eggs (I think it was in reference to
recipes), and I was wondering what the status of that effort is.

Thanks,

Nathan
