Could you give me some hints as to what goes in and what does not? I
don't see any reason why this should be the case.

You can do all of those on the commandline or you can set them in an
options dictionary the same way you would with py2exe.
setup(
...
app=['myapp.py'],
options=dict(py2app=dict(
iconfile='myicon.icns',
...
)),
...
)

This is probably a bug in your program.. without any more information I
can't help you. The current directory of a py2app bundle is the
Resources folder, so open('resources/mydatafile') will just work unless
you do a chdir.
