[Pythonmac-SIG] Installing modules with py2app

[Chris Weisiger]

Did you build the app bundle with the Python that came with OSX, or did you
install a separate Python install from python.org and use that? You have to
do the latter; py2app's not allowed to include components of the operating
system in the apps it generates. Windows gets around this problem by not
having a standard Python install.
