I found crossing this bridge a bit tricky, until I embraced Xcode. Start a Python-Cocoa project with Xcode. Look at the framework it builds for you. Go on and edit your app delegate, not necessarily using Xcode. Hit the "Build and Run" button in Xcode. See what happens. Repeat. After you've successfully built a couple of Python apps this way, you'll be better prepared to get into the whole py2app thing. The major problem there is that the folks who build and maintain it are overworked, and have little to no time to update documentation. So there are lots of out-of-date documentation pages and examples, which will mislead you mightily unless you have some other grounding to fall back on to see if they make sense. Even then, I have to admit I still don't know how to build a PreferencePane from scratch. I've got one working, but I had to take the example, and hack it into shape. Oh, and read Will Larson's series: http://lethain.com/entry/2008/aug/22/an-epic-introduction-to-pyobjc-and-cocoa/ all the way through.
