partly because of the re-distribution issue, Py2app is set up NOT to 
bundle Apple's Python, so trying to get py2app working with Apple's 
python is a waste of time, if what you want is a bundle with Python 
included.

If you want a re-distributable app bundle, install the Python2.6 from 
Python org, install all the packages you need, get your app running 
there, install py2app into that Python, then build away.

That's really the way to do it.
