py2app产生包含我系统上所有库的捆绑软件

Question

Even for a simple print "hello world" python script, it produces a bundle of 72,5mb in size. Looking inside the script reveals that it seems to include all the Python and associated libraries installed on my system. I am using a no thrills setup file to generate a bundle.

from setuptools import setup

APP = ['test.py']
DATA_FILES = []
OPTIONS = {'argv_emulation': True}

setup(
    app=APP,
    data_files=DATA_FILES,
    options={'py2app': OPTIONS},
    setup_requires=['py2app'],
)

Yes, disk space is cheap, but A 72,5mb executable for a hello world one-liner is totally unacceptable. Is there any way to fix this behaviour, considering according to the documentation it should include only needed libraries?

Ok found the solution. The problem was caused by the fact I was using Python that came with Mac OSX.

I have reinstalled Python from Brew to a separate location and now py2app produces reasonably sized executables.
