I have a simple python program I want to turn into an app. py2app is what I need, according to my research.

I'm using ActivePython 2.7 on OS X (snow leopard). via the PyPM tool (package manager) I have installed a package called py2app.

The documentation for py2app has a tutorial page http://svn.pythonmac.org/py2app/py2app/trunk/doc/index.html#id7

It says I should be able to do this as a first step:

py2applet --make-setup MyApplication.py

but I have no such executable anywhere that I can find. I thought this would have been installed by the package.

Try running this command:

$ pypm files py2app | grep py2applet
~/Library/Python/2.7/bin/py2applet 
~/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/py2app/script_py2applet.py 
$

So, do you have ~/Library/Python/2.7/bin/py2applet?

You can also add ~/Library/Python/2.7/bin/ to your $PATH (in ~/.profile) - which PyPM tries to do on first run.
