py2app is not available at the link provided on its download page, so  
I couldn't try it with MacPython.  I did try py2app from the Fink  
distribution.  The app that I built using Fink's py2app fails to run,  
as it cannot import wx.  I assumed that was because Fink does not  
have a proper wxpython - their version uses X11 and wxgtk.  I didn't  
investigate any further as this was starting to look like a big time  
sink.

The widget approach is looking like a winner, as being a widget is a  
good fit for how this app will be used by my wife.  And it works  
already, whereas a pure python solution looks like it would be a  
bigger job.
