This is Apple's installed python. by default, if you run py2app with 
Apple's system python, it will link to that, rather than embedding all 
of python with it.

I don't know if you can override that, but if you want your app bundle 
to run on pre 10.5 machines, you need to install the python.org python, 
and use that. py2app will embed the whole thing in your app bundle, and 
it should run on any max, OS-X 10.3.9 and above.

I don't know if there are any special issues with LXML, but I'd get a 
simple app with only the standard library working first, and then try 
your full app.
