Here is an example:

PLIST = dict(CFBundleName = info.PROG_NAME,
             CFBundleIconFile = 'Editra.icns',
             CFBundleShortVersionString = info.VERSION,
             CFBundleGetInfoString = info.PROG_NAME + " " + info.VERSION,
             CFBundleExecutable = info.PROG_NAME,
             CFBundleIdentifier = "org.editra.%s" % info.PROG_NAME.title(),
             CFBundleDocumentTypes =
[dict(CFBundleTypeExtensions=synextreg.GetFileExtensions(),

CFBundleTypeIconFile='editra_doc',
                                           CFBundleTypeRole="Editor"
                                          ),
                                     ],
             CFBundleTypeMIMETypes = ['text/plain',],
             CFBundleDevelopmentRegion = 'English',
             NSHumanReadableCopyright = u"Copyright %s 2005-%d" % (AUTHOR,
YEAR)
             )

Then just pass this dictionary in the py2app options

py2app_options = dict(plist=PLIST)

setup(options=dict(py2app=py2app_opts), ...)
