Thanks for clarifying this. I used PythonIDE to generate the applet bundle, and never noticed that it created this dependency. I'm assuming that since it's only being maintained, not developed, that there are probably no plans to change this. I notice that PyOXIDE sets things up the way you suggest, so I will probably switch to that in the next version.

Question, though: aren't PythonLauncher and pythonw part of the MacPython distribution? Would a Python app bundle launch correctly if these tools weren't installed? Or are they part of the stock Apple build of Python?

I realize that using applets as the basis for my app bundles isn't really the best way to do it, but it does work if the supporting libraries (PyQt, tkinter, wxPython, whatever) are installed. I do plan to spend more time with py2app learning its ins and outs--a lot of it is over my head right now--because I know, overall, that it's a better way to distibute Python applications (more complexity on the developer end, but a lot less on the end user).

There are some things that are hard-coded in this version of Eric3, so I'll leave it as is for now.
