At this point, using the packages option, you've got nearly the same  
filesystem layout as you would normally, so it's highly unlikely  
py2app has anything to do with the problems you've experiencing.

Are you sure all of this stuff works outside of a packaged  
environment? It sounds like your problems don't really have anything  
to do with py2app at this point. The django list would be more  
appropriate; these errors won't make any sense to anyone that doesn't  
have intimate knowledge of django's source.
