I'm seriously wondering if having "Python Launcher.app" is a good idea, and if we shouldn't scrap it entirely. If building full app bundles using py2app is too much of a burden we could look into providing an easier and more lightweight way to build such bundles. The fully standalone bundles that py2app creates are very useful, but I definitely see the need for very thin .app bundles as well.Interesting idea. What's the lightest thing that's an app, anyway?
AFAIK an executable + Info.plist + icon file (plus the right directory structure). The executable can be shell-script on Leopard, but a simple executable would IMHO be better. One way to structure such an executable is to read the name of the actual script to execute from the Info.plist (using a custom key) and then use the standard Python C- API to execute that script.
