I have used py2app in the path, and what it does is similar to what our
perl script is doing, look at the dependencies and copy them in the bundle.
However, our packager ignore any system files. While with python, you
can't.
As such, py2app copies pretty much all python related files into a bundle,
including system python.
An application as such is pretty big, even when you do the simplest thing.

Personally, I don't use on my mac anything else but the fronted, as such I
have very little incentive into making it python bindings working.
