py2app (macOS)

[txbugeater]

Hi Alejandro,

I enjoyed using your tool you created. It is great for a newbie in gui app designing in python. I attempted to make a standalone app using the py2app utility. Unfortunately there appears to be a problem (It certainly could be an issue with py2app), but the failure occurs when it tries to launch pygubu the builder.get_object('main window', master) of the helloworld.py demo.

I would be happy to share the output if you are interested.

For now, I won't be able to more forward with pygubu as a means to deliver a simple utility for my customer, so I plan to just hand roll my app. Its very small so it shouldn't take too long. But I would much rather use bygubu!

Hello @txbugeater, thanks for trying pygubu.

I would be happy to share the output if you are interested.

Yes, please let me see the errors.

I managed to try py2app and make the helloworld example work. Here is what I found:

Add .ui file to the DATA_FILES variable:

"""
This is a setup.py script generated by py2applet

Usage:
    python setup.py py2app
"""

from setuptools import setup

APP = ['helloworld.py']
DATA_FILES = ['helloworld.ui']
OPTIONS = {}

setup(
    app=APP,
    data_files=DATA_FILES,
    options={'py2app': OPTIONS},
    setup_requires=['py2app'],
)

Add the pygubu package when generating the application:

python3 setup.py py2app --packages pygubu

Let me know if this helps.

Regards Alejandro a.

Hi Alejandro, Thank you for the quick response! I just tried your recommendation and it works! Now I will try it on my app. I suspect it will work or at least get me further down the road.

I had used the packages --command but not with just pygubu as you showed. I think I used a package path that the error output was complaining about. It was an inner pygubu package I believe.

Sincerely,

Dan
