  This can be set conditionally in the script, I'll look at making that  
change.

  I don't think you'd have to have this change made if you compile the C  
version of the jarow library... One caveat is that after you build it  
(cd native/strings; python setup.py build ) you have to copy the .so  
file from the build directory back into your strings directory...  ( cd  
native/strings; cp build/lib.darwin*/jarow.so . )

  I assume you are using 0.1.7 of py2app ?  Just throwing that out, not  
sure if it matters.

  Probably, since OWC (www.macsales.com) has deals for around $50 I  
think... ;-)  But at this point, it's only a few months until Tiger,  
and then you can be on the BLEEDING edge. <smirk>

  I wonder if you have an issue with which python you're running... as  
you pointed out before, you've got quite a few copies installed. I  
wonder if it's looking in the wrong place. Someone with more Python  
experience could tell you how to determine which set of paths your  
"default" python is looking at, and you could then check to see if  
boot_app.py is in it's search path.

  I know mine is in /Library/Python/2.3/py2app/py2app/build_app.py on a  
Panther system. I'll have to reboot to see how Jaguar is configured. I  
also know that I had some weirdness with py2app when upgrading from  
early versions to the most current, since the modules were restructured  
and I had to delete the old modules myself.

  I'll double-check things and let you know what I find on my Jaguar  
boot volume.
