I also ran into this recently.
I was trying to wrap a PyQt application on Snow Leopard, and I wanted a 64-bit

The first issue you ran into involves macholib, and is easy enough to correct; 
here is the patch file.

Also, py2app builds a 32-bit bootstrap executable in 
dist/ApplicationName.app/Contents/MacOS/ApplicationName ; so it will still 
start in 32 bits. To correct that, the py2app templates have to be rebuilt. 
Code patch below, and then do the following:

cd {sowewhere}/py2app/py2app/apptemplate
rm prebuilt/main
python setup.py build
cd ../bundletemplate
rm prebuilt/main
python setup.py build

Note that the patch involves bumping the minimum system version from 10.3 to 
10.4; Ideally this should be parametrized. Another issue that requires more 
thought, that Kevin also identified, is the argvemulation not working in 64 
bits. My patch just hides the failure at this point, something better has to be 
done.


Marc-Antoine,

Thank you for these patches.

I'm sorry to report that even after applying these patches and re-installing py2app and macholib, my four-way Tkinter application won't build with py2app. I get this error in py2app:

File "build/bdist.macosx-10.5-universal/egg/macholib/MachO.py", line 295, in synchronize_size
    raise ValueError("New Mach-O header is too large to relocate")
ValueError: New Mach-O header is too large to relocate
> /Users/kevin/Desktop/phynchronicity/build/bdist.macosx-10.5-universal/egg/macholib/MachO.py(295)synchronize_size()
-> raise ValueError("New Mach-O header is too large to relocate")

I've seen this before, and am not sure how to fix it.
