I have a python script which I have successfully packages with py2app prior to upgrading to Lion.

Now when I run py2app it completes without errors, however the resulting .app is only 216K, and when executed it complains about missing objc (which is the first import in the script).

py2app output:

Without seeing you setup.py file, my best guess would be that you're not explicitly including the PyObjC library. For example

from setuptools import setup

OPTIONS = {'argv_emulation': False,
           'includes': ['objc'],
          }
setup(
    app='myapp.app',
    options={'py2app': OPTIONS},
    setup_requires=['py2app'],
)

will force py2app to include the objc library. If you're already doing this, it would be helpful to see your setup.py script.
