I’ve added a comment on the stack overflow question.  It says:

The first step to debug issues like this is to start the application in the 
terminal, that is for MyApp.app run "dist/MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/MyApp". This 
will print errors to the terminal instead of that they'll be swallowed by the 
system. This will likely print that some module or library cannot be found. You 
can use "includes" (modules) or "packages' (packages) to explicitly include 
those missing modules/packages (but please report back, I can automate this in 
py2app).
