That's a great idea. The accessibility features should allow us to  
control the GUI from a script, and GUI scripting shouldn't be  
problematic here because the UI's of the test programs don't need to  
evolve much over time. This might not get us 100% of the way (some  
bundling problems might cause drawing issues when a required component  
isn't present), but at this would at least help a lot.

We could also add test code to the application that checks if all  
required resources are actually present.  This might take some care to  
avoid accidently telling py2app what to include through the test code  
(e.g. don't use "import some.required.module" to check if a module is  
packed into the bundle, use the __import__ function instead).

I'll be at Pycon, including some of the sprint days aftwards.  
Focussing on py2app during the sprints start to be more and more of a  
good idea, that's something where a lot can be gained with relatively  
little interference between tasks.
