Hi all,

I uninstalled py2app as described on that webpage.
Went through my HD with Finder and Spotlight and removed everything
that mentioned py2app.

Reinstalled py2app via easy_install.

End result: same problem!

Also tried the --no-strip and --prefer-ppc options, but they didn't help.
Any ideas?
