Bill,

Do you really not know about Py2App? It occasionally has some tricky 
bits, and doesn't yet work with the new universal build, but it is still 
better than anything else out there for any platform. In fact, with my 
limited testing, it has always "just worked" which I can not say for py2exe.

As a note, a big part of the discussion about what version of python the 
macpython community should endorse centered around the advantages of 
using a non-Apple build with py2app.
