Is it possible to deploy a Python application on the Mac App Store?

Question

Does Apple accept Python applications for distribution on the new Mac App Store?

If so, how should the application be packaged? Is py2app sufficient? Something else?

Answer 1

Apple provides the Build Applet tool for Python with Xcode so it should be supported by the App store. MacOS X 10.6.6 includes Python 2.5 and 2.6 as part of the default install, you can specify /usr/bin/python2.5 and /usr/lib/python2.5.
