I tried, but it failed randomly, so pdb wasn't of much use.

The fun thing is: I wanted to investigate further, and re-iterated the py2app some times. And lo and behold, eventually it would work. 

So I started working on my project for now, as it seems I can get things to work eventually.

I did that - and funnily enough, it works. For all the examples in 

pyobjc-framework-Cocoa/Examples/AppKit/CocoaBindings/

at least.

So it might be something that is local to my project. Which is strange, but heck, nothing is impossible. I will try & see if the issue rises again. The new project I started will feature a lot of the code & modules of the failing one (which was the reason I picked it in the first place), and I'll keep an eye on if and when this will happen again.

Thanks for taking time to think about this!
 
A sample project that demonstrates the problem would be very helpful, I'd love to get rid of vague crashes like this.  Building such a project could require a lot of work though.
