It works for me.

I updated to py2app 0.5.2 using:
pip install --upgrade py2app

I then removed an extra blank __init__.py file I'd put in my zope 
directly to work around an issue with my earlier py2app (zope.interface 
was installed using pip, which uses a complex .pth file).

Finally I build a complex application with py2app and it worked 
perfectly (I double checked by moving my Python Tcl and Tk frameworks 
out of the way).

Thank you very much for the update!

P.S. I'm curious about the virtualenv improvements. I use virtualenv to 
develop my code, but when I've got the appropriate environment set up if 
I build the application using py2app I always get the appended traceback 
(even witih py2app 0.5.2).

To work around it I have my setup.py script add a few necessary bits to 
sys.path and I build from a fresh login with no virtual environment set 
up.

No big deal, but if there is a way to make the build work even when the 
required packages are setup using virutalenv, I'd like to know about it.
