Answer 1

I have no experience with the combination of lxml and py2app specifically, but I've had issues with py2app not picking up modules that were not explicitly imported. For example, I had to explicitly include modules that are imported via __import__(), like this:

OPTIONS['includes'] = [filename[:-3].replace('/', '.') for filename \
    in glob.glob('path/to/*.py')]

Maybe it also helps in your case to insert an explicit from lxml import etree somewhere in your code?
