How do you expect to use this? It appears to need a terminal window -- 
Py2app is usually for GUI apps, so it will dump output to Console.app, 
but not give you a terminal.

where does that usually live?

For more diagnostics you can look into the build app bundle by right 
clicking on the bundle. Poke around in there, and you can see what's 
getting included.


You may need to explicitly include the IPython pacakge, so you'll get 
eveything. See a recent thread: py2app and mysqldb

You may need the latest macholib:

easy_install macholib==dev
