If I interpret the stacktrace correctly one of the resources/datafiles you're trying to include in the application doesn't exist and py2app craps out in an unhelpful way.

To find the path that is causing problems you can give the following two commands on the (Pdb) prompt:

(Pdb) up
(Pdb) p source

BTW. It seems you're lucky in a way, the exeption only occurs with absolute paths (starting with a '/') while non-existing relative paths cause a hanging proces.
