You may want to upgrade:
$easy_install -U py2app
should do it.

That should create a setup.py for you, which you can then modify. What 
do you get?
 (also tried py2applet hello.py

that's not the right syntax, which explains:

 to create a setup.py. It goes through: *** using recipe:

this makes me think you are using pyqt in your hello.py script -- pyqt 
uses SIP. You may want to start with the simplest script possible, then 
add in packages, so you know where the problems are.

the above should do it -- be sure to let us know exactly what output you 
get.
the other option is to copy and paste a setup.py from the docs, and 
start from there -- it's really not any harder.
