However , an alternative solution to fix this problem is to install Calibre. It will setup your system , then PRS Note Reader should be able to run. |

Let's me summarize the current problem of Mac porting. PRS Note reader use python-qt4 as the GUI library. And according to this article "· How to make standalone OS X application bundles from PyQt apps using py2app". It can not build dmg by using py2app with built-in python. It must use the python from macports. Moreover , python-qt4 do not have any pre-built binary available. So I think it should build python-qt4 using macports. But unfortunately that due to #22926 . qt4-mac was broken, and therefore I can not continue the porting. |

@benlau: py2app works perfectly well with the python downloaded from python.org, that's how calibre was built for a long time before I worte my custom replacement for py2app
