You appear to be running py2app from Windows. I think it's only
intended to be run from Mac OS X (it might possibly work on *nix too;
haven't ever used py2app myself).
[i.e. I think you need an OS X machine to even generate a
py2app-packaged version of your Python program.]
The exact error you're getting is due to os.symlink() only being
available on *nix, not Windows.

Cheers,
Chris
