Creating standalone Mac OS X applications with Python and py2app · Chris Hager

In this tutorial we’ll be using py2app to create a standalone OSX application from a Python 2 or 3 source code with a simple Tkinter user interface. "py2app is a Python setuptools command which will allow you to make standalone application bundles and plugins from Python scripts. py2app is similar in purpose and design to py2exe for Windows." Relevant links about py2app: Documentation Source on BitBucket (last commit 2015-05-05) Issue Tracker, Mailing List This guide is loosely based on the official tutorial.

Which command specifically gave you the error? Please also post the traceback information.

You have to enter the command without the leading $, just everything after the dollar sign.
