I'm not totally sure, but 10.7 probably has a version of python out of
the box that 10.6 doesn't. But anyway, if you want it standalone, you
need to make sure that you DONT'T use Apple's Python:

Did you install the same python.org versions on 10.7 as you did on 10.6?

Are you sure you're running py2app (i.e. setup.py py2app) with that Python?

If so, py2app should keep it all clear for you.

(note: if any extensions need to be compiled, you need to make sure
you use an older XCode, also, but if your app is running fine with the
right pyton outside py2app, then you should be set.)

HTH,
