I know next to nothing about app bundles.

But one thing that comes to mind is that (and you will also have
this issue with py2exe) by default Boa uses sys.executable
to run Python files. So in the normal case this is python.exe
but under e.g. py2exe it will be Boa.exe.

The Preference: Preferences->General->PythonInterpreterPath
should probably be set for your app bundle to point to the real
Python execuatble.

Cheers,
Riaan.
