Answer 1

Did you tried to install Aspell and dictionary from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/0index.html?
To install dict simply download ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/ru/aspell6-ru-0.99f7-1.tar.bz2, untar it and

./configure && make && make install

Answer 2

pyEnchant won't work when it is a zip file, try:

$ python setup.py py2app --packages=enchant

This will tell py2app to include the enchant package outside of the site-packages.zip.
