In general, a Mac standalone should be created with bundlebuilder for any
script that is beyond the testing phase and is to be used regularly. That
will allow you to double-click the script/app regardless of file
associations and in theory should also enable docs to be dropped on the app
in the Finder, allow the app to be added to the Dock... There are some brief
notes about that with the minimalStandalone sample, but I have not sat down
and made standalones of specific tools or samples for Mac OS X. The
codeEditor and resourceEditor are obvious candidates, but up until wxPython
2.5, the wxSTC control was too slow redrawing the screen due to the
anti-aliased text that I wasn't developing much on Mac OS X. Anyway, if
there are samples or tools you want to make a standalone out of with
bundlebuilder, I'm interested as well and it would be good to add some notes
about the process to the next PythonCardPrototype release.
