Ned, Thanks for the comment - but I'm puzzled. Maybe I should have been more explicit or descriptive. When running the script directly in the interpreter, that is, when I invoke is as $ ./CM_GUI_2.py in a terminal window (or as $ python CM_GUI_2.py) the first menu to the right of the Apple icon (the one I'd call the Application menu) remains named "Python" - although the menu under it now includes the items I've created. When I invoke the bundled version that is the result of the py2app packaging, that menu gets named CM_GUI_2. I've tried this on both my development system (admittedly with lots of stuff downloaded from python.org) and on my laptop, which is almost stock. It remains true even if (on the laptop) I invoke the stock Apple python interpreter from /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python and then ">>> import CM_GUI_2.py" If it really is true that running the script in a terminal window changes that Application menu name on your system, I'd REALLY like to know how to accomplish that.
