I don't know, this is weird. If you can find or re-build the small one, 
you can compare them and see what py2app is putting in the bigger one.

I have a faint memory of finding two copies of the wxPython libs in a 
py2app bundle once, but I don't remember why or what I did about it, but 
that could explain a major jump in size! -- sorry I can't help more, but 
I found it by running "du" on the app bundle, and looking for large 
things -- I did find I could trim quite a few megabytes of stuff that 
way (then ended up adding a 100mb database to the bundle -- oh well!)

Good luck,

-Chris
