That's odd. I would expect the opposite behavior because your application should get the focus when launched by the finder and the terminal still has focus when you start a script in the Terminal app. Does the Qt application example in py2app's repository have the same behavior (last time I checked it worked fine on my machine)? What application does have the focus when you double click on the application? And btw, what do you mean by "launch from the terminal" in your SO question? Are you starting the .app from the Terminal using 'MyApp.app/Contents/MyAp', or by running 'open MyApp.app' or even by just running 'python myapp.py'?
