To pick up the correct name of your program, the script(s) need to be
run from inside an application bundle.

Theer are two ways to create Python app bundles. If you want to deploy a
standalone application with all the PyQt bits included, use py2app:

http://undefined.org/python/py2app.html

The drawback of this method is that it creates huge downloads (25
megabytes or more), but everything is there.

If, for some reason, you are targeting a platform where all the required
libraries are included (as wxPython is included in Tiger), use the
"applet" method:

This is the method I use to package Eric3, which comes with PyQt-Mac. It
creates much smaller application packages.

Hope this helps.
