You didn't quite answer my question :-). How does webdemo execute the  
code in test_real3.py? Does it import it as a module or execute it  
like a real CGI script?

If you execute test_real3.py as a separate process your setup.py  
doesn't work.  Py2app copies just enough of /Libary/Framework/ 
Python.framework to supply the dependencies of the script named in  
setup.py (e.g. webdemo.py), and therefore might not include modules  
imported by test_real3.py. I'm amazed that py2app even bothers to  
include bin/python. It definitely does not rewrite the paths to  
shared libraries used by bin/python.
