Hey i have made an app and i have made a .msi for windows with py2exe and i have also exported it with py2app on mac. No problems here they all work fine. I then put the .msi on sourceforge and it works great but when i put the .app on there and download it it says something like i can open this on old architecture or something so i have to put it through google drive and i dont like this like i share the link and folder and people can download it there but it is dodgy. Could someone please help me out like if there is a .msi type thing for mac with py2exe?

It's hard to make sense of what you are asking for. Can you just zip up 
the app bundle that py2app produces and upload it that way? That works 
for many developers.

Are you aware that a .app on MacOSX is actually a
directory, not a single file? So, as Kevin says,
you will need to turn it into a zip file or
something similar that you can upload to a web
site.

Another popular way to distribute a MacOSX app
is using a disk image file (.dmg). Disk Utility
can be used to create those.

Yeah i have zipped it up and put it on sourceforge and then when you download the zip it says it is incomplete. I do like the idea of making a .dmg file because i have used them downloading other apps and it works great but i dont know how to make them! would be great if you guys could give me a link to how to do this!

Or...open Disk Utility and drop the app onto its dock icon.
