Most likely py2app analyzes code of pythoncard and cannot find
dependance on wx. As a quick workaround you can just insert "import wx"
in the beginning of your program where you import pythoncard. For a
more flexible solution you will need to read py2app docs how to force
bunding of a package from setup.py
