That should do it.

What I meant was to make sure that you run py2app with the same python 
that you are running your app with when it isn't bundles -- you can have 
any number of different pythons installed: 2.5, 2.5, macports, fink, 
etc., etc, etc.

fine place to start

odd -- usually -A is easier to get working! Unless you move the bundle...

If you use that one, py2app won't bundle everything, so it won't work on 
any non-10.5 machine (and I'm not sure about extra stuff you've installed).

It's best to use the python 2.5 you get from python.org

You will then need to re-install the add-on packages you need.

This is all more complicated than it should be.
