Thanks. It made the error confusing enough that it took me a while to 
figure out what was going on.

makes sense. I had 0.1.4 or something in my download directory.

that is, "warning".

but couldn't be? I why isn't it in site-packages anyway? Though I 
imagine you have a good reason, I'd like to know what it is. The whole 
pth thing seems kind of clunky to me.

So putting them in the py2app dir, where you have them now, makes sense.

When this problem arose, I just did a quick google search for altgraph, 
and it looked like a generally useful package, so It wasn't clear that 
it is used exclusively for py2app.

Oh well, I've got it all working now, very well, as a matter of fact.

Now I just need to figure out how to give my app an icon.
