[Pythonmac-SIG] py2app error with /usr/bin/strip

[altern]

hi again

I solved the problem by doing
$ python setup.py py2app --no-strip

I read this about strip
--strip (-S)            strip debug and local symbols from output (on by
                         default, for compatibility)

could anyone explain a bit more about what this is? or maybe point to 
somewhere i can read about it. I am interested because last time i used 
this machine i did not need to use this (only use it every now and then 
for testing on OSX), so I am trying to find out what is the difference 
from last time.

thanks

enrike
