[Pythonmac-SIG] py2app: how to exclude pygame_icon.icns ?

[Joel Gluck]

Hi all --

It seems I have solved my frameworks problem for now -- I simply  
copied all the frameworks I needed and manually stuck them inside my  
app (deleting all the unnecessary header folders). Not an automated  
process, but at least my python app now seems to run on other Macs.

Also, I solved the pygame_icon problem by changing permissions (sudo  
chmod 777) on the "pygame" folder inside python.framework and  
overwriting pygame_icon.icns and pygame_icon.tiff (the .tiff file was  
the real culprit, I discovered) with my own version (same filenames,  
different contents).

Thank you, Chris VB, Tom W, and Bob I!
