Error in py2app


I am testing py2app on a simple test.py application, doing nothing special.

python == 3.6
py2app == 0.14

It builds fine with no errors when I give this command:

python3.6 setup.py py2app -A

but when I launch it, this is the result:

./dist/test.app/Contents/MacOS/test 

Traceback (most recent call last):

Solution

  • downgrading to 0.12 fixed the issue for me. More of a workaround that a fix though but good enough for me at this point
