I just tested it, it works. However, by default it will use whater "/usr/bin/env
python" yields, and that's usually stock Python 2.2. To build an applet that
actually uses Python.framework you currently have to invoke the build script
like so:

  % python buildapp.py -e /usr/local/bin/python build

(This is assuming /usr/local/bin/python is the Python.framework main executable)

The -e option specifies which executable to use, and copies this to the app
bundle. The Python.framework main executable is only 16k, but to save even those
16k you can use the --link-exec option which adds a symbolic link to the
executable instead of a copy. The TableModel applet is then under 10000 bytes
(although the Finder calls that 56k...).
