I am trying to create a standalone Mac GUI app.
I used wxPython (wxpython-phoenix 3.0.3) to create the GUI.
I am trying to use py2app (0.14) to create a standalone app that can be used on a different machine not requiring a python installation.
The wxPython works fine by itself on the machine where it was created (MacOS Sierra, virtual environment in miniconda python).
I am able to compile the app using py2app, but the app does not work. When I run it from the command line, I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

2017-07-14 00:46:55.453 CtAnnotator[38476:1598471] CtAnnotator Error
Here’s my build python script:
#!/usr/bin/env python
“”"
build_CtAnnotator.py - script for building CtAnnotator
Usage:
% python build_CtAnnotator.py py2app
“”"
from setuptools import setup
import sys
from distutils.core import setup
sys.setrecursionlimit(20000)
APP = [‘CtAnnotator.py’]
PACKAGES = [‘wx’, ‘os’, ‘dicom’, ‘operator’, ‘cv2’, ‘numpy’, ‘cPickle’]
OPTIONS = {‘argv_emulation’: True,
'plist': {'PyRuntimeLocations': ['/opt/localdepth/localdepth/localdepth/localdepth/localdepth/localdepth/miniconda2/envs/app-env/lib/libpython2.7.dylib']},
'packages': ['wx'],
}
DATA_FILES = []
setup(app=APP,
data_files=DATA_FILES,
options={'py2app': OPTIONS},
setup_requires=['py2app'],
)
The reason for the deep miniconda installation is to avoid the “Mach-O header is too large to relocate in” error.
See: http://py2app.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html
Can someone help me figure out how to solve this problem?
Thanks!
