How package a multi-script app? about esky

[rfk]

It sounds like the other python files are not "scipts" so much as modules that are imported by the main script, is that correct?

If so, you should try to follow standard python package layout when structuring you code. I would recommend putting all of your code into a package named after your application, like this:

setup.py
<appname>/
    __init__.py
    main.py
    settings.py
    data.py

In your main script, you can then access e.g. your settings.py by doing "from import settings".

Structuring things in this way will make it much easier for package tools such as esky to find and include all the necessary code, and it will also help avoid some gotchas in the python import process.

Your setup.py can then be along the lines of just:

setup(name="App",
  version="1.2.3",
  scripts=[os.path.join('<appname>', 'main.py')],
)
