You'd think!
However, while lots of folks are using Python on OS-X, I think a huge
percentage are doing home-grown stuff, and/or using it in a "unixy" way,
and thus unlikely to need virtualenv, and even less likely need py2app.
In general, py2app is not being actively updated, which is getting to be
more an more of a problem. The developer of bb-freeze is showing
interest in the Mac, so I have some hope of a bb-freeze--py2app merger,
but it's not coming tomorrow.
The idea of writing a
non-trivial Python app in 2008 without virtualenv is unthinkable for
me!
I've still gotten away without it, but yes, it is a pretty important
tool. I think the question is whether you are building multiple apps
that aren't equally actively maintained -- so far, I just use the same
versions of all packages with all my apps, which requires them all being
maintained when I upgrade a package.
