This brings up a question for me as to what the state of Python is on
Given the recent release of Python 3.0, I've been surprised to see no
mention of a Mac release of this. Is anyone working on an official
release? If so, is there an expected release date?

Luckily for me, I'm still a good ways away from needing to actually
create a standalone app. That is just my ultimate goal. If there
isn't a universal build of py2app by the time that I'm ready
Thanks for your extensive answer, Bob. I will definitely go with the
universal build given what you have said, just to facilitate getting
help with any problems I run into. As for py2app not working with
that yet, I'm still a long way from having anything ready to package
