[Pythonmac-SIG] py2applet--is it really this easy?

In anticipation of repackaging my Python developer tools for Tiger, I
gave py2applet (the gui droplet) a try, since I wasn't quite sure how it
worked. I had been playing with a PyQt app called mindmap, so I decided
to use this as a test case. I dragged and dropped the main launcher
script on the py2applet icon, and it proceeded to create a standalone
package complete with PyQt libraries stuffed in! This was quite
unexpected: I guess I thought py2applet worked in the same way that
buildapplet did.

Is it this easy? I realize that I will need to edit the info.plist and
icon bits to get it completely customized (since I didn't use a py2app
setup script), but this blows my mind. Is py2applet really this simple?

Bob, you're amazing. Thanks for such a useful tool. With a little more
testing/learning, I'll be ready to bag bundlebuilder/buildapplet for good.

Cheers,
