That's not entirely unexpected. You can work around this by converting the executable in YourApp.app/Contents/MacOS to a 32-bit only one using the lipo tool. > > 2.

Py2app will indeed not include the Apple-supplied python into the app bundle, but you can redistribute the resulting binary. Your bundle will then require a SL system to run though. > the posting said to build python2.6 from python.org, > install all my modules, and work from there. That should work as well. > > 3.

The system supplied version of WebKit runs in 64-bit mode, so that shouldn't be a problem. The nightly build (I checked WebKit r69429) also supports x86_64 on SnowLeopard, but not on OSX 10.5 (I wouldn't know why though).
