Regarding that... If I develop on a windows box, is there any way for me to build a OSX application bundle on my machine? I kind of figure I could possibly use Cygwin to make use of Freeze, but I also worry about distributing a binary for *nix systems that may use a different endian system or blah blah blah.
No... and no.
On the py2exe site wiki, they have a bunch of recipes for "installing" icons for windows executables (which seem like a bit of a hack by simulating a manifest file), and that's the biggest issue with building windows apps. OSX applications have a more approachable manifest type deal which uses XML. Having never made an OSX distributable, I can't say for certain how complex it was, but from Apple's API, it doesn't seem too bad.
You typically don't have to deal much with the plist file for a typical py2app application, because the common stuff is abstracted. -bob
