py2app is not available at the link provided on its download page, so
I couldn't try it with MacPython. I did try py2app from the Fink
distribution. The app that I built using Fink's py2app fails to run,
as it cannot import wx. I assumed that was because Fink does not
have a proper wxpython - their version uses X11 and wxgtk. I didn't
investigate any further as this was starting to look like a big time
sink.
The widget approach is looking like a winner, as being a widget is a
good fit for how this app will be used by my wife. And it works
already, whereas a pure python solution looks like it would be a
bigger job.
