+1 on this, it is better to use the Tkinter support for this instead of the 
argvemulation hack (which is mostly meant to be used with command-line scripts)

The source code for idle show how you can add support for the open-file event  
to your application: 
<http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/cb716ee277cc/Lib/idlelib/macosxSupport.py#l54>

That said, I will try to fix the py2app bug when I have some time.
