   Try the 0.6.4 pre-release version from 
https://bitbucket.org/ronaldoussoren/py2app  In that version, 
argv_emulation has worked for me (and others on this list) in 64-bit.  I 
have recently (today) used argv_emulation with --argv-inject to quickly 
and easily create multiple app bundle versions from a single base.

   Please let us all know whether or not this version works for you.
