py2app RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded when using python setup.py py2app

I get the same. In my case I could workaround by setting sympy in the excludes and it seems not to be a problem - I guess some package that I use declares this dependency but isn't strictly needed - but would be nice to get it fixed

Having a script that reproduces the problem would help.

I get the following messages from a script that imports sympy.polys.polyquinticconst, but the builds succeeds as expected (that is no traceback and an app bundle that can import the module).

These warnings are harmless, they change the way py2app scans these modules for dependencies and that disables some of the intelligence for handling missing modules. Neither module has dependencies outside of sympy itself, so that's not relevant for building apps using this package.
