[Pythonmac-SIG] Can't convert simple Python script to bundle with py2app

[skip at pobox.com]

I have a trivial little script:

    #!/usr/bin/env python

    import os
    import sys

    os.execl("/Users/skip/local/bin/gnuclient", *sys.argv[1:])

which I want to convert to a .app bundle.  I downloaded and installed py2app
using easy_install, successfully ran py2applet to generate a setup.py file:

    """
    This is a setup.py script generated by py2applet

    Usage:
        python setup.py py2app
    """

    from setuptools import setup

    APP = ['rungnucl.py']
    DATA_FILES = []
    OPTIONS = {'argv_emulation': True}

    setup(
        app=APP,
        data_files=DATA_FILES,
        options={'py2app': OPTIONS},
        setup_requires=['py2app'],
    )

then ran "python setup.py py2app"  which gave me a traceback and dropped me
into pdb:

    (Pdb) 

Python (from Subversion trunk in this case) was configured using
--enable-shared, but there is no libpython2.7.dylib to be found anywhere
inside of the --prefix directory.  It does generate a libpython2.7.a file.
I'm not doing a framework build.  Do I need to?

Thanks,
