[Pythonmac-SIG] py2app - After building for distribution, No module named PyObjCTools

[s s]

I have had similar problems with the "ImportError: No module named  
PyObjCTools" and actually sent my entire project to someone who was  
distributing a (beta) commercial product for some help.

He spent 4 hours on it, hacked the hell out of the startup modules and  
everything else and got it to build on his machine, then I couldn't  
duplicate his results on mine.

py2app needs some serious attention on the 10.5.6 stack and I'm  
willing to help get it going -- I just don't have the domain knowledge  
to get the ball rolling though I'm sure I could help keep it rolling  
once I knew where to poke the stick.
