[Pythonmac-SIG] py2app, system Python, and Mac App Store

[Kevin Walzer]

My recent difficulties getting a Python app uploaded to the Mac App 
Store (owing to apparent issues with Apple's uploader, which seems to 
strip out symlinks in the embedded framework) have prompted me to look 
at deploying a version of my app linked to the system Python. I've never 
deployed a semi-standalone app, so I'm not sure what issues to be aware 
of. How does backward and forward compatibility work? (I'm on Lion.) If 
I have any extensions that I want wrapped (currently they are in my 
site-packages dir in /Library/Frameworks/Python), do I need to move them?

On a related note, does anyone else have a Python app in the Mac App 
Store? Have you encountered issues with uploads or approvals? How are 
you setting up py2app? My recent headaches getting the app uploaded have 
been a real curveball, because I have had any issues previously.

Thanks in advance,
Kevin
