I¹m using py2app v. 0.4.3

Not sure what you mean about using the same python that I¹ve installed all
the stuff into. I compiled boost, exempi and python-xmp-toolkit into a
directory inside my /opt/local folder. Should I have installed these in some
other place? 

> 3) post your setup.py here, so we can see what you've done

Here¹s the setup.py, it is just the generated one from py2applet.

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

Usage:
    python setup.py py2app
"""

from setuptools import setup

APP = ['WriteEskoXMP.py']
DATA_FILES = []
OPTIONS = {'argv_emulation': True}

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

I got the py2app to make an app that runs now by turning off the ­A (alias
mode) when building the app, but it still only runs on my machine. The
libxmp looks like it¹s getting bundled now, but when I try to run it on a
different machine, I get a error: ExempiLoadError so now it looks like the
Exempi which the python-xmp-toolkit requires (
http://www.spacetelescope.org/projects/python-xmp-toolkit/docs/installation.
html) isn¹t getting bundled, or maybe it can¹t be bundled? That would be a
bummer.

> 4) tell us OS and Python version.

I¹m using OS X 10.5.8 and Python 2.5.1 which I¹m assuming is what came with
my Mac? I don¹t remember installing anything else.

Can you tell that I¹m in a little over my head??

Thanks.
Jim
