The project readme lists dependencies for Mac and Unix/Linux. Are these build-time dependencies, or runtime dependencies? To put it another way, if I use zenity and distribute my app, do I have to tell Mac & *nix users they must install osascript or zenity to run my app? |

They are runtime dependencies. Unix/Linux users need to install You can test for the availability of runtime dependencies using |

Thanks for clarifying. So it sounds like Linux/Unix is the only platform where users might need to take an extra step to install a dependency. That should be fine for our use case. Thanks again for your help! |
They are runtime dependencies.
Unix/Linux users need to install
zenity(or a clone, likeqarma).osascript(and its sisterosacompile, which is needed for the progress dialog) is preinstalled on every mac.You can test for the availability of runtime dependencies using
zenity.IsAvailable().
