Thanks Bob,

I checked out py2app from the URL given, ran setup.py as instructed. 
When I run python setup.py py2app, I get the following exception:

ValueError: '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/Python' 
does not contain architecture i386

This makes sense, somewhat, because I use the PPC version of Python 
2.4.1 on a Intel Mac Mini. The reason for this is that there is no 
universal build of wxpython available yet.

Apparently, py2app is expecting a i386 python version? Why? How can I 
tell it to expect and use the PPC version?

Thanks, Frank
