For normal builds, the pyobjc resources are not copied at all as an 
optimization.   As well, this allows the build templates to work for 
all but installs regardless of where PyObjC is installed (though there 
is a default that has to be set to control how the app finds the python 
binary).

In any case, everything is defined via PBX itself.  See the build 
phases for the main app target.

A Project Builder template is merely a PBX project shoved into the 
Templates directory.   When a new project is created from a Template, 
certain strings are automatically replaced.    If you want to adjust 
the templates, you can edit an existing template directly in PBX, just 
make sure you remove the pbxuser file from the pbxproj -- likely 
gherman.pbxuser, in your case.

All controlled via PBX....

Build just creates the app for the purposes of running in PBX.   
Install [tries to] creates an app that can be packaged for 
distribution.  The location is entirely determined by PBX settings;   
see the build settings target editor.

REGEX, no... but you could provide environment variables, I believe, 
and that could entirely be done from within PBX (all of the FOO=BAR 
settings within the PBX target editor are just passed to pbxbuild as 
environment variables).   Some experimentation would be necessary.

The distutils build doesn't touch the PBX templates.  Maybe 'pbxbuild 
install' should do so and, as Dinu indicates, should update the 
templates based on

I don't think that exists.
