I've poked around a bit in the py2app code, but I really have no idea
how to fix this--I would gladly submit a patch if I did.

However, for what it's worth, I was able to build a standalone app
bundle of the "hello-tk" demo using bundlebuilder. Because bundlebuilder
isn't nearly as elegant as py2app, it took some trial and error, and the
final app bundle is huge--50+ megabytes--but it works, and the resulting
app is a universal binary. I'm glad bundlebuilder is still available. :-)

Here's my setup script, run as "sudo python makeapplication.py build":

### makeapplication.py
from bundlebuilder import buildapp

buildapp(
    name='hello.app', # what to build
    mainprogram='hello.py', # your app's main()
    argv_emulation=1, # drag&dropped filenames show up in sys.argv
   # iconfile='myapp.icns', # file containing your app's icons
    standalone=1, # make this app self contained.
    includeModules=['argvemulator', 'os'], # list of additional Modules
to force in
    includePackages=[], # list of additional Packages to force in
    libs = [
            '/Library/Frameworks/Tk.Framework',
            '/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.Framework'
        ]
   # libs=[], # list of shared libs or Frameworks to include
)
