title: Packaging OpenCV with a python app
body: <p>So I'm contemplating what language to use in the development of an app that uses OpenCV. As a part of my decision, I'm interested in knowing how easy/difficult it is to include the opencv library in the final app. I'd really like to write this in python because the opencv bindings are great, python's easy, etc.</p>
  
  <p>But I haven't been able to find a clear answer on stuff like "does py2app automatically bundle opencv when it sees the import cv line" (I think not) and if not, then is there a known way to do this?</p>
  
  <p>In general, I would like to know the best way to distribute a python desktop app with opencv.</p>
