  Hmmm...  Here is where it's looking... It initially does this when one 
of the modules loads:

# Where to find bitmaps etc
p=sys.path[0]
if os.path.isfile(p): # zip importer in action
     p=os.path.dirname(p)
resourcedirectory=os.path.abspath(os.path.join(p, 'resources'))

And then later when trying  to load them it uses:

  os.path.join(resourcedirectory, filename)

So the difference in invocation between the bundlebuuilder-built  
application bundle and the py2app-built application bundle is causing a 
problem with finding the path where we are being run from, at least in 
the way that BitPim is trying to find it in the above code. Anyway, 
that's something for me to worry about. ;^)

Thanks!
