You wll have to ask the py2app developers why they include the source 
code. Usually, the answer to that question is so that they can show 
debugging information in the tracebacks if an exception occurs.

Perhaps there is an option to py2app that removes the .py files and only 
includes .pyc files. What does the documentation say?
