How to create a mac os x app with python

installer.txt

# first off, install py2app package. 
# docs --> https://py2app.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html#installing-with-pip

pip3 install -U py2app

# then go to python project's root directory, and run py2applet --make-install command:

py2applet --make-install script.py

# the above command will generate a setup.py file, we must edit it in case we were using
images in our project, we should add them to the DATA_FILES array.
# once done run:

python3 setup.py py2app -A

# the above command will compile your program in "alias" mode, which means your app
# is still not portable to other machines, the idea is to test your app runs ok before
# the real compilation so to speak, the dist and build folders will be created.
# the application lies within the dist folder once tested we can move on to delete the
# dist and build folders and compile the standalone version

rm -rf build dist

python3 setup.py py2app

# that's basically it, the above program will generate a dist folder, now you have 
# something that's portable to other machines, to share just compress the dist folder.
