Py2app Throws [errno 35] Resource Not Available During Unconditional Imports

I'm using python 2.7 installed via macports, pyobjc, cocoa and notably scipy (via FlowCytometryTools) with py2app to create a small mac application. Py2app's setup.py run with sudo

Solution 1:

No experience with py2app, but I am wondering if you tried generating a more minimal version of the code that would fail to aid troubleshooting?

Maybe having FlowMac.py include nothing but the import statements:

import Cocoa
import Foundation
import AppKit
import FlowCytometryTools
import pylab

Also could you narrow it down to whether the problem appears due to pylab or due to FlowCytometryTools? (By commenting them out individually?)

Solution 2:

From my testing, this error seems to be caused by the log output itself from py2app. Try redirecting standard error to a file:

python setup.py py2app 2>error_log

This should work around the error.
