Installed, but I'm not sure how to check that it installed correctly.  I was
able to do the first step of the py2app tutorial, and successfully created
setup.py.  But I don't have a tutorial app to build.

I copied convert-ly.py to my MyApplication.py in my test directory, and it
looks like py2app is running.

OK, so when I did this I ended up with a .tar.gz.  When I extracted it, I
got a lilypond directory, with names that looked right to me.

I downloaded lilypond.icns, and placed it in the lilypond directory created
from the .tar.gz file above.

When I tried this, I got the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 17, in <module>
    CFBundleShortVersionString = open ('VERSION').read (),
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'VERSION'



Any thoughts on what I need to do next?
