I'm trying to build semi-standalone applications against Leopard's stock Python 2.5 with an appscript 0.19.0 .egg installed,

well, py2aqpp is known to have problems with eggs. is that a zipped egg? If so, it may work better with an unzipped one:

$ easy_install -Z TheNameOfTheEgg

Leopard's stock install of py2app should be able to deal with zipped eggs as wel.

Note that py2app needs a considerable amount of attention though:

* need enhancements to properly support eggs:
- copy entire eggs into the .app bundle, instead of just bits and pieces
  - support the "entry-point" feature for eggs
- an option to specify required eggs in setup.py (like setup_requires, but for a specific app)

* support for the ".xib" files as introduced by Xcode 3

* nice to have: support for including a complete python stdlib

* nice to have: support for including (and possibly building as well) plugins into the .app bundle (that is, some way to specify that a Quicklook/spotlight/ systemprefs/.... plugin should be copied into the .app bundle)

* py2app really needs a testing framework, or at the bare minimum a set of example projects that properly exercise py2app:
   - PyObjC apps
   - wxPython apps
   - PyQT apps
- apps using commonly used extentions that give/have given problems (such as matplotlib)
   - ...

There's little chance that I'll be able to actually implement all of this in a reasonably timeframe though.
