App-bundle created with pyinstaller requires chmod a+x before it can run on other systems

Question

I've made a cross-platform application in python, with pyqt gui.

I have then successfully created an app-bundle with pyinstallers, but I have one problem.

When I use the app bundle on another computer, I have to go in and run

chmod a+x [myapp].app/Content/MacOS/mybinary

to get it to run.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a solution?

No, does that have an impact on permissions on other computers? — scandinavian_, Jan 10 '13 at 00:06
I believe it does, checkout the `--manifest` option, see if this [link](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9969464/why-does-my-pyinstaller-created-executable-require-admin-privileges) helps — , Jan 10 '13 at 00:30
Running Makespec.py with the -m FILE option solved the problem, thank you @X.Jacobs — scandinavian_, Jan 10 '13 at 14:51
