I'm thinking that the right thing to do about rocket-in-the-dock should be to change the Info.plist of Python.app, to include the setting "LSUIElement: 1". Here's the doc from Apple:
``LSUIElement (String). If this key is set to '1', Launch Services runs the application as an agent application. Agent applications do not appear in the Dock or in the Force Quit window. Although they typically run as background applications, they can come to the foreground to present a user interface if desired. A click on a window belonging to an agent application brings that application forward to handle events.The Dock and loginwindow are two applications that run as agent applications.'' It seems to me that this is what we want for the Python interpreter proper. Applications (like IDLE) that are indeed proper foreground apps can always call TransformProcessType() to override this setting and get a dock icon for themselves.
