Creating both a zip and a directory is perfectly normal and expected.

"fails to find some stuff" is probably unrelated.

Turning off zip-ification of site-packages wouldn't do you any good 
because py2app chooses which files it wants to put in there.

Look at <http://svn.red-bean.com/bob/py2app/trunk/examples/pkg_data/> 
-- it's designed to be particularly annoying to package.
