Technically, that is correct behavior. You are running these scripts
using the Python interpreter.
To make an actual OS X Application, you need to build the app using
py2app. In the setup.py you create for that, you will have a section
that looks like this:
setup(
data_files=DATA_FILES,
version = "1.0",
description = "twitter client brought to by Dabo",
name = "tweezer",
# targets to build
app = ["tweezer.py"],
#windows = ["tweezer.py"],
#console = ["tweezer.py"],
options={"py2app": OPTIONS,
"py2exe": OPTIONS},
)
In this section, the 'name' value will show up as the application
name. This is from the setup.py for my Twitter app called 'tweezer',
and when I run the app, the name 'tweezer' shows up in the menu bar.
You can see the complete setup.py here:
