OK, if you insist.

yes, and it's worth posting there -- I'm not sure everyone there is also 
on this list.

exactly -- that's how it supports both Apple's Python and python.org's

It has been for me -- I've had no problems with wx and Python2.5 and 
OS-X 10.4, but I haven't tried newer versions of either.

What's odd is that it's looking in the wrong place -- as you've noticed, 
the lib doesn't live there, and it should be looking inside the bundle 
anyway.

Are you sure you're running the right python when you run py2app?

How big is the resulting app bundle?

Take a look in the bundle, and see what's there. ON an app of mine, for 
instance, I have the wx libs in:

TheBundleName.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload/wx/
