The docs assume that "python" is the target python interpreter.  If  
you had done /usr/local/bin/python setup.py bdist_mpkg --open then  
everything would've worked.

install is for installing Python extensions, that's not what you're  
doing so it's not the right command to use.

/usr/local/bin/python setup.py py2app
