2 years ago Py2app must be run on macOS, it cannot be used to cross-build applications on Linux or Windows. I've updated the py2app documentation to be more clear about this.
The reason for this is that applications contain both Python code and C code (if only for Python itself and the stdlib). During the construction of the application py2app needs to access and load that C code. That only works when running on a macOS system.
Running Python 3.6 on Ubuntu 18.04, trying to make an app for husband's Mac. The application does not throw any errors if run in alias mode, but seems to be an issue with zipping.
zlib and zlib-dev for Ubuntu are installed; but there is no [dunderdunder]file[dunderdunder] (sorry, mark-up keeps making the double underscore into bold) in the attributes. Sorry, the code quote eliminates line breaks from the console readout sometimes? Commands run using Python console:
import zlib zlib.[dunderdunder]file[dunderdunder] Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.6/code.py", line 91, in runcode exec(code, self.locals) File "<input>", line 1, in <module> AttributeError: module 'zlib' has no attribute '[dunderdunder]file[dunderdunder]' zlib.[dunderdunder]version[dunderdunder] '1.0' print(dir(zlib)) ['DEFLATED', 'DEF_BUF_SIZE', 'DEF_MEM_LEVEL', 'MAX_WBITS', 'ZLIB_RUNTIME_VERSION', 'ZLIB_VERSION', 'Z_BEST_COMPRESSION', 'Z_BEST_SPEED', 'Z_BLOCK', 'Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION', 'Z_DEFAULT_STRATEGY', 'Z_FILTERED', 'Z_FINISH', 'Z_FIXED', 'Z_FULL_FLUSH', 'Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY', 'Z_NO_COMPRESSION', 'Z_NO_FLUSH', 'Z_PARTIAL_FLUSH', 'Z_RLE', 'Z_SYNC_FLUSH', 'Z_TREES', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__loader__', '__name__', '__package__', '__spec__', '__version__', 'adler32', 'compress', 'compressobj', 'crc32', 'decompress', 'decompressobj', 'error']Here is the terminal output when trying to run setup.py without alias mode:
