Exactly. That's the whole point of py2app -- and it does a very good job 
of it. With complex packages, it can make mistakes, but the common ones 
have "recipes" built in to py2app -- I'm pretty sure wx is one of the 
standard recipes, so it does "just work".

As is often the case with python -- if it doesn't work, you're probably 
trying too hard!

The example I gave you does create a completely stand-alone application, 
it's been tested on PPC and Intel machines with nothing extra installed.
