I can't speak to the specific error you are seeing, but I don't think 
Build Applet has been maintained for years--it's a legacy tool that 
certainly isn't part of Python 3x and probably won't even run in 64-bit 
Python 2.7.x, as it depends on the deprecated (32-bit only) Carbon 
modules. Is there any reason you can't move to a more modern bundling 
tool like py2app, which is actively developed and certainly is more 
robust than Build Applet? (I say this as one who used Build Applet back 
in the day, but it's probably been 10 years).
