[Pythonmac-SIG] shrink app bundle size (removing unused stuff)?

[Carlos Grohmann]

I think that if the 'excludes' weren't overwritten by the
wx/numpy/matplotlib/etc recipes, it would be easier to fine-tune our
options (maybe run the recipes first and aftrer run the excludes?)

best

Are there things you have to do every time that could (easily) be expressed as configuration for py2app?  It seems that python is slowly moving towards a more declarative way of specifying builds using a setup.cfg file instead of setup.py though the distutils2/packaging project and py2app should do the same when that happens (without dropping support for setup.py files of course).
