In regards to copying Python into my app: Urgh… no. The Pypy looks like a different flavor of Python. Do I need the bin directory or everything? This is just too confusing to a newbie.
Head meets desk: the problem looks like a Xojo bug. I was playing around when I noticed that the Python app before copying worked and after copying the app into Xojo it didn’t work anymore. On checking the Finder I saw that the app shrank from 20 MB to 13 MB.
Yes, I copied the app first manually and everything worked fine. I’m now using an IDE script with “ditto” to copy the app. I still need to create Feedback issue.
