Py2app With Native Python 2.6

I have a python application primarily dependent on matplotlib, tkinter, numpy and scipy I have been distributing for multiple operating systems. I build these on top of the python.

Solution 1:

This is a known issue in py2app, see https://bitbucket.org/ronaldoussoren/py2app/issue/36/py2app-fails-to-build-a-working-executable. The pyconfig.h file is only present on machines where the developer tools are installed, which is why I haven't noticed the problem myself.

The easiest workaround is probably to replace the pyconfig.h symlink by a copy of the file after creating the app bundle.
