Sorry, I meant numpy 1.6.1rc3. It's nice to know that 1.6.1 has been 
released; I had missed the announcement. However, the binary says 10.6 
so I'm guessing I can't use it with my 32-bit 10.3 python.org Python so 
I've not tested to see if the problem has gone away.

Yes the generated app does include distutils/sysconfig.pyc (but not .py) 
in its Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7/site-packages.zip
