[Pythonmac-SIG] Please help! py2app broken: solved

[Russell E. Owen]

I fixed easy_install, changing the line that uses log (and causes a 
crash) to a print statement (so that easy_install would work). I then 
installed:
easy_install setuptools==dev06
easy_install py2app==dev
   this complained about not being able to find modulegraph, so...
easy_install modulegraph==dev

I then worked around a bug in modulegraph that is described in another 
posting.
This exposed the fact that I was missing a package (actually a .pth 
file).
Fixing that produced:
  File "build/bdist.macosx-10.3-fat/egg/macholib/MachO.py", line 178, in 
load
    raise ValueError("Unknown load command: %d" % (cmd_load.cmd,))
ValueError: Unknown load command: 27
> /Users/rowen/TUIRoot/BuildForMac/build/bdist.macosx-10.3-fat/egg/macholib/MachO.py(178)load()

I fixed this by:
easy_install macholib==dev

And now everything is working.

Thank you all for your help and advice. I'm relieved to be able to stick 
with svn 1.5, since I make heavy use of svn.
