You may be right about that. I just tried to check by
visiting the websites of both to consult the docs,
but from what's there, it's quite hard to tell.
Neither of them seems to have what I woud call a
proper set of documentation that explains all the
options properly.

What's missing from the py2app documentation? Have you tried to use it given the documentation and failed to figure out how to do what you needed?

The tutorial alone is generally sufficient for the majority of
applications, because py2app has library specific recipes for the
common problematic stuff that plagues py2exe. Distutils knowledge
isn't typically necessary, and it even has a script that builds a
template setup.py for you (or just builds the app right out).
