yes, thought there may be something newer in SVN -- Ronald?

you can get there with the command line, or by right clicking and 
selecting "Show Package Contents"

well, I think that's all I get too -- because you are building on ppc, 
but the enclosed binaries should be universal.

I suspect you are running pyapp with a PPC-only python. Are you sure 
you're using the Universal build?

type:
$ which python

to see what gets run when you type python. Then see what it there. I get:

$ which python
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/python

then:

$ file 
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/python/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/python:

symbolic link to `python2.5'

so I try:

$ file 
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/python/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/python2.5

and I get:

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/python2.5: 
Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/python2.5 (for 
architecture i386):    Mach-O executable i386
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/python2.5 (for 
architecture ppc):     Mach-O executable ppc

indicating that I'm running a Universal python.
