[Pythonmac-SIG] gtk/pygtk + py2app recipe

[Antoine Martin]

Hi,

I've seen a number of questions about how to bundle pygtk applications
using py2app (*) and I've also spent a fair amount of time figuring
things out so I thought I would share my findings here. Especially since
there are no recipes for it built-in, no pygtk specific info on the
py2app website, and I could not find much through googling either.

My own instructions are based on tryton's, so this should be your first
stop:
http://code.google.com/p/tryton/wiki/BuildingMacOSXInstall
If that works for you great, but for some reason these were not
sufficient in my case (maybe because of extra dependencies), so I also
added gtk-osx's "ige-mac-bundler" to the mix:

Clearly not all sections will be relevant to you, but hopefully this
will be helpful to some...

Cheers
Antoine
