When I was building my python standalone app with command python setup.py py2app, the output package fails to start. However, if I build with hot link python setup.py py2app -A, it works fine.

I used PyQt for my app, maybe that causes the problem.

Here's my setup.py:

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

Usage:
    python setup.py py2app
"""

from setuptools import setup

APP = ['teammaker.py']
DATA_FILES = ['ui.py']
OPTIONS = {'argv_emulation': True, 'includes':['sip','PyQt5','PyQt5.QtWidgets']}

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

and here's my crash log.

Please help to find out the problem, thank you!

  • When you run `python setup.py py2app` do you get a bunch of error messages under a heading `Modules not found (unconditional imports):`? This is happening to me, and I'd love to figure out how to fix it. – Steve Mar 23 '16 at 14:29
  • Indeed! Personally I think these modules are not relevant, and there're some online tutorials saying we can just ignore these warnings. Plz tell me if you fix it. Thanks! – BXIA Mar 24 '16 at 16:13
  • The log indicates there was a fatal Qt message, which you might see on standard output when starting your application in a terminal. However, `py2app` is also quite old/outdated and may lack necessary features for PyQt to work, I'd try using something more modern like [PyInstaller](http://www.pyinstaller.org/) instead. – The Compiler Oct 23 '16 at 18:55
  • @TheCompiler Thanks, the point is PyInstaller cannot actually pack .app bundle (if I'm correct), which is better for Mac distribution. – BXIA Dec 04 '16 at 03:32
  • You're not - it can do `.app` bundles just fine, and mentions this on its website (under "Mac-specific features") ;) – The Compiler Dec 04 '16 at 10:03
  • @TheComplier thanks! Last time I checked it still cannot pack .app bundles. You helped me a lot – BXIA Dec 05 '16 at 11:42

I had a similar problem with my Text Editor. The solution I found here. In short:

  1. Open the boot.py file inside the dist/name_of_your_program.app/Contents/Resources folder in any text editor (Finder might not show the .app file extension).
  2. Find a function def _run()

  3. Under the import statement add the following line:

    sys.path = [os.path.join(os.environ['RESOURCEPATH'], 'lib', 'python2.6', 'lib-dynload')] + sys.path

You need to change the 'python2.6' into the actual Python version you use. 'python3' worked for me.
