ImportError: No module named os

So it seems, if I'm interpreting this right, like Python's not able
to find
its own modules under this particular scenario.  Line 3 of
TransanaHelp.py,
by the way, is not the import statement shown here.  That

line 3 is

of some
internal Python routine that's not part of my code.

I had a problem like this when first moving from distutils-based
setup files to setuptools-based setup files.  Getting the latest
version of py2app may help.

Upgrading to py2app 0.3.5 had absolutely no effect.

It's *probably* because py2app sets a lot of environment variables
that can effect child Python interpreters... Try clearing out any PY*
environment variables sometime early in your script.

And please try to build a small application that reproduces the problem when this doesn't work out.
