How do you expect to use this? It appears to need a terminal window

Console.app, but not give you a terminal.
That's true - what I would really like is to be able to open a
terminal with an ipython prompt from a .app file, and to include a
specific module I am developing so that it can be used from that
prompt. All this in a bundled file so that any user can download it
and use it without installing python. I've poked around a bit and
have found this
It sounds like you've figured out how to spawn a Terminal like you
want to, my first thought would be to use AppleScript.
You might also be interested in Nicolas Rougier's Glipy package, which
embeds IPython (and some other neat NumPy-related features) in an
OpenGL pseudo-terminal.
