Thanks to everyone for your help.. I finally have a truly Universal build with py2app 0.4.3. I have confirmed that it works on Intel and Power-PC , tiger , leopard and snow-leopard.
Here is my protocol, I am repeating it because it took me a while to get all the bits in place I am building on Leopard -10.5.8 intel mac 1) I was using python.org python 2.6.3 2) wxpython binary build for 2.6 from wxpython.org 3) Installed all my dependent libraries for the new python 2.6.3 , reportlab , yaml and py2app and macholib from subversion (links here http://www.undefined.org/python/) 4 ) Used the verbose setup.py ( see below) 5) Ran python setup.py py2app 6) I then had to manually create a directory for the Framework inside the bundle.app/Contents/Frameworks directory mkdir Python.framework mkdir Python.framework/Versions mkdir Python.framework/Versions/2.6 And copy in the Framework build from my disk into the *.app bundle cp /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Python Python.framework/Versions/2.6/ 7) The Resulting app bundle was 103 M uncompressed 8) I used DiskUtility to create a dmg file after I moved the *.app bundle into a new folder . Used the Disk utility command - create - disk image from folder . The compressed disk image was 33MB 9) Importantly the Disk Image ran on both mac cpu platforms and tiger , leopard and snow-leopard OSes I am sure this process can be fine-tuned. But thought I would send this along .
