Uhm... What do you mean by "no change"? Do you mean that 
the-program-formerly-known-as-PythonIDE-but-now-called-BuildApplet 
still has the problem, or do you mean that 
the-program-formerly-known-as-BuildApplet-but-now-called-PythonIDE 
now has the problem? I.e. is the first guess that the problem is 
pathname-related or that it is content-related?

I did find an interesting possible race condition between the 
starting Python and the launching Finder, though. The loop to 
create argv uses GetNextEvent() (not WaitNextEvent) , and it 
simply calls it 100 times. And since Carbon the SystemTask() in 
that loop has gone too. So, it is conceivable that that loop 
finishes before the finder has been scheduled and had a chance 
to send its AppleEvent. I'll change the loop to use WNE(), and 
I'll try to get a 2.2.2b1 installer ready later tonight.
