Wheel package not available.

[a2435191]

I made a very basic testing script for py2app. Here is the file TestApplication.py:

import rumps

class myApp(rumps.App):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(title='myApp', name='myApp')
        self.menu = ['text', 'more text']

myApp().run()

And here is setup.py:

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

Usage:
    python setup.py py2app
"""

from setuptools import set
APP = ['TestApplication.py']
DATA_FILES = []
OPTIONS = {}

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

When I run the command python setup.py py2app -A in Terminal, I get the following output:

WARNING: The wheel package is not available.
WARNING: The wheel package is not available.

Done!

Then when I run TestApplication.app, I get a TestApplication Error. I assume this has to do with the "missing wheels" messages at the start. How do I fix this?

What error do you get if you start the application from the command line? That is, run "dist/TestApplication.app/Contents/MacOS/TestApplication" from the command-line. This should print a clearer error than just opening the app bundle.

What version of python and py2app do you use?

[ronaldoussoren]

The "wheel package unavailable" message is likely due to not having py2app installed, I get the same error when testing in a fresh virtual environment. "setup_requires" can be a little too magic at times...

this Is what I get when I try running setup for the mgt system

@Daud-stack : your appear to run python on a windows machine. Py2app does not support cross-building and must be run and installed on a macOS system. Furthermore ensure that py2app is installed before running "python3 setup.py py2app".
