[Pythonmac-SIG] problem running py2app

[Attila Tajti]

Hello,

As my first Mac OS X project I am trying to build a sample plugin with py2app. I am following this tutorial: 

http://eaganj.free.fr/weblog/?post/2009/07/14/Demystifying-Mail.app-Plugins-on-Leopard

I do not know what am I doing wrong, but I cannot seem to be able to create my plugin in the first place. 

python setup.py py2app -A works, but creating a standalong plugin fails. 

Do you know what is wrong? First I tried with py2app 0.4.3, but now I use svn trunk.

python setup.py py2app output:
