Mmm, didn't you get my previous post? The call is inside the py2app  
package. Quoting myself:

>> <string>: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation

In case it wasn't clear, modify the file  
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/py2app/py2app/util.py,  
around line 13, in the find_version function, adding this print statement:

     print 'about to compile', fn
     ast = compiler.parseFile(fn)

The last line printed (in case there are many) should be the offending  
filename.

Of course you don't have to keep the modified library, this is just to  
detect which file triggers the error. You should report this to the py2app  
developers as well.
