(Lots of stuff about non-Universal builds of stuff and other comments 
from various people removed...)

Luckily for me, I'm still a good ways away from needing to actually 
create a standalone app. That is just my ultimate goal. If there 
isn't a universal build of py2app by the time that I'm ready for it, 
we can probably assume that there never will be. As far as I can 
tell, Bob is working MUCH faster than my current time scale since I'm 
just in the learning stages.

The same thing would hold true for wxPython, which I will likely use. 
I still have to finish learning Python before really diving into 
that. And in the meantime, if I start before there is a universal 
build, people who have Intel Macs (not me at the moment) will just 
have to run under Rosetta. I expect they will probably never notice 
the difference for the kinds of things I'm likely to be doing.

As for the comment about not knowing how to build a standalone 
application that installs Python... Well, unless I'm horribly 
mistaken, this is exactly what py2app on the Mac and py2exe does 
under Windows. I'm assuming there is a Unix equivalent as well. Based 
on the discussions I've seen on this list, I can't come up with any 
reason I would want to use the Apple supplied version of Python 
rather than having my application include it. There is always 
application size, I suppose, but I don't think that will be a major 
issue for me.
