darn. Maybe Ronald will chime in -- it's worth a try.

This looks like it failed to properly install the dev version of 
macholib -- try getting SVN installed (see below) then try again.

no, you can download the whole thing with an SVN client. I think the 
command line client comes with Apple's developer tools (I'm not sure how 
I installed it, it's been a while, but if you don't have it, you can 
try: http://www.collab.net/downloads/community/). Once you have an svn 
client, you should be able to do:

$ svn checkout http://svn.pythonmac.org/py2app/py2app/trunk/ pyappSVN

You could also use a GUI client, like

syncrosvn: http://www.syncrosvnclient.com/
svnX: http://www.lachoseinteractive.net/en/community/subversion/svnx
SCPlugin: http://scplugin.tigris.org/
ZigVersion: http://zigzig.com/
RapidSVN: http://rapidsvn.tigris.org/
SmartSVN: http://www.syntevo.com/smartsvn/index.html
Versions: http://www.versionsapp.com/

I use the command line, so I have no opinion about any of these.
