You need to write a setup.py (actually, probably you should name it
something else like "setup-app.py") that specifies the appropriate
information. From the py2app documentation, the simplest example would be

from distutils.core import setup
import py2app

setup(
app=['MyApplication.py'],
)

Then you can do

python setup-app.py py2app

If you need more help, I suggest asking on the PythonMac-SIG mailing list.
