Could you post the exact setup you're using again:

- Which version of OSX?

- Which copy of python (/usr/bin/python, Python.org installer, ...)

- How did you install PyQt (and which version)?

- How did you install Twisted (and which version)?

- The setup.py you're using

- Link to the software

- Anything else that might be relevant to reproduce the problem

I don't have time to look into this right now, but hopefully will have  
some time this weekend. I'm slowly gearing up for a new release of  
PyObjC and would like to fix as much issue in py2app &friends as well.

BTW. the (setuptools==dev, py2app==dev) issue seems to trivial,  
macholib uses a class that turns out to be private to pkg_resources  
and that class was moved elsewhere.

I guess macholib doesn't pick up that dependency for some reason. You  
could copy the jpeg bit by hand to get going again.
