Evaluate py2app for Mac

[psi29a]

According to everyone everywhere (google), the only real solution is py2app. Someone with a Mac should help volunteer to test this. :)

[psi29a]

I have py2app installed, but I also have pyinstaller... trying that now first. Can someone please test this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/396161/worldengine-mac-x86_64.tar.bz2

Let me know if it works and/or has issues. :)

I have not a mac available. I will buy one when I start my own company but if we find someone to test it before it would be great

[rbb]

I can test it. I assume the thing to test is the link posted by psi29a?

[ftomassetti]

Yes! It would be great!

[rbb]

Is there anything in particular that I should be testing for? Just that it runs?

[ftomassetti]

yes, just that it run: we want to understand if this way of packaging applications work, if all the dependencies are included etc.

If it starts and run without crashing we are happy for the time being :)

[rbb]

Yup. Seems to work.

Great to hear that! Thanks for testing!

[psi29a]

Yay!

[ftomassetti]

Ok, then I guess we can close this issue. Thank you @psi29a and @rbb !
