We shouldn't lose sight of the fact that the people we're talking about who need to build Python programs as apps -- several of whom have responded here -- don't typically want to confine those apps to the world of Macs. Python is a great language in which to build cross-platform (LOTS of platforms) programs that will look native everywhere and run without any expertise on the part of end users. Since that makes an audience at least (at a guess) 20 times as big as the Mac-only audience, and (at a guess) 200 times as big as the command-line-and-system-tools audience -- and since the future of a language does depend on the size of its user base and not only on the savvy and enthusiasm of its most expert users -- it would seem to be short-sighted for anyone interested in Python on the Mac not to support py2app as fully as possible.
