    Mac OS X - Deployment

    Hi Everybody,

    I just spent about an hour googling and still can't find out how to deploy a
    Python app to Mac OS X.

    I just finished a simple Hello-World GUI app using wxPython and deployed it to
    a WinXP system using PyInstaller. So I am familiar with the basic tools.

    It would be great if I could build an OS X executable from my XP system. Is
    that possible? If so, is it documented anywhere?

    If I can't do it on XP, I suppose I would have to install Python and wxPython
    on a Mac, then copy over my HelloWorld.py file, but what then? I know how to
    make DMG files, but what woudl go into the DMG?

    I am used to REALbasic where you write your code and then push the "Build"
    button and executables for Linux, Windows, and Mac are created in less than a
    minute. Maybe the Python world will be as advanced one day...

    Thanks,
    Matt
