Jabbim uses PyQT and PyQT support in py2app isn't well tested at the  
moment, you might run into a limitation of that support. Your usage of  
the --use-pythonpath option is a clear indication that py2app doesn't  
copy everything that the application needs into application bundle.

Which version of py2app do you use? IIRC support for pyqt is only the  
the subversion repository of py2app, not in an actual release.

Can you run Jabbin without using py2app, that is by starting it from  
the command line? Do you have to set any special environment variables  
to do that?

Py2app does indeed not fully support setuptools at the moment, it  
doesn't treat eggs as first-class citizens which breaks code that  
relies on setuptools features. Fixing that should be easy enough, but  
I don't know when I'll get around doing it.
