I'll add this and the other 3 single-architecture variants in the next release.

py2app should not cause about the architecture string. You'll probably see warnings in the py2app output of it not being able to find your extension when building the module graph (those should be burried in the rather verbose output of py2app, another thing that should be fixed in the future).

Do you have a setup.py where you build extensions and run py2app as well?  If so, could you try creating a setup.cfg file with this contents:

    [build_ext]
    inplace = 1

That instructes build_ext to copy extensions into the source tree, and I wonder if that would solve your problem.  If that works it is merely a workaround, py2app and/or modulegraph should then be fixed to work when this setting is not present.
