OK, I tried this.  installed Py2app (2.4.1 Frameworks version) no 
problem.  But now I have trouble using bdist_mpkg.  I tried two ways 
after cd to the folder with the setup.py file, one from the terminal 
prompt and one inside python (the web page is not very clear to me on 
this or I'm just dense).  I get errors both ways:


louispec% python setup.py bdist_mpkg --open
usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
   or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
   or: setup.py --help-commands
   or: setup.py cmd --help

error: invalid command 'bdist_mpkg'
Exit 1

Any ideas?
