I've put together a little preview of py2app 0.1.5, which has MAJOR feature enhancements over 0.1.4. http://undefined.org/python/py2app-0.1.5.mpkg.zip (installer for Mac OS X 10.3) I'm trying to use this version of py2app. I'm encountering the following error: error: can't copy 'favorites': doesn't exist or not a regular file This is true: favorites is a directory, not a regular file. However the same setup.py works for Windows, Linux and on OS X (if I use 'python setup.py py2app' rather than 'python setup.py bdistmpkg').

datafiles=[('', ['DUIcon.ico', 'favorites', 'icons', 'themes'])],

For 'favorites' and 'icons' I could simply use glob. However the 'themes' directory is about three levels deep and I'd like to avoid having to do a ton of work to generate that particular file list, esp since it is large and changes frequently.

Try passing it in as just:

     data_files=['DU_Icon.ico', 'favorites', 'icons', 'themes']

when using py2app, for now.
