Most of *my* wxPython-based (actually dabo-based) tools don't even need to be an app bundle - doubleclicking some .py file is mostly enough. But I wouldn't like to loose some GUI functionality.
IMHO running the script shouldn't be the default action for .py files, ever. I have two reason's for that: (1) most .py files I run into are just source code instead of scripts and shouldn't be executed but opened in an editor, and (2) this makes it way to easy to accidently execute a random python script that you've downloaded from the internet.
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.
