That's funny:

import ctypes
help(ctypes)
    --- start screen dump ---
Help on package ctypes:

I assume py2app can't find/load it???  I wasn't in at the start of this 
thread.

If you do need it,

import ctypes
from ctypes import util

I know the *import ctypes* line is supposed to be *not needed*, but I 
find Python works more as expected with it.


I also assume you have seen .../pythonXX/distutils and dist.pdf?  Just 
in case you have not - take a look. Supposed to be how to package one's 
stuff for distribution.

At least with python 2.5.2
on Linux Slackware 10.2
