Multi-doc app: make sure you either create an Info.plist file or
manually create a plist object in your buildapp.py script.

Example of the latter:

from bundlebuilder import buildapp
from plistlib import Plist, Dict, True


plist = Plist(
    CFBundleDocumentTypes = [
        Dict(
            CFBundleTypeExtensions = ["*"],
            CFBundleTypeName = "Universal Font Object",
            LSTypeIsPackage = True,
            CFBundleTypeRole = "Viewer",
            NSDocumentClass = "GlyphSetDocument",
        ),
        Dict(
            CFBundleTypeExtensions = ["ttf", "otf"],
            CFBundleTypeName = "OpenType Font",
            CFBundleTypeRole = "Viewer",
            NSDocumentClass = "GlyphSetDocument",
        ),
        Dict(
            CFBundleTypeExtensions = ["pfb", "pfa"],
            CFBundleTypeName = "Type1 Font",
            CFBundleTypeRole = "Viewer",
            NSDocumentClass = "GlyphSetDocument",
        ),
        Dict(
            CFBundleTypeExtensions = ["*"],
            CFBundleTypeOSTypes = ["LWFN"],
            CFBundleTypeName = "Type1 Font",
            CFBundleTypeRole = "Viewer",
            NSDocumentClass = "GlyphSetDocument",
        ),
    ]
)

buildapp(
    mainprogram = "GlyphViewer.py",
    resources = ["MainMenu.nib", "GlyphSetWindow.nib"],
    nibname = "MainMenu",
    plist = plist,
)

Alternatively you can add --plist=myinfo.plist to the command line, or
replace the above with

plist = Plist.fromFile("myinfo.plist")
