It appears that Python Launcher doesn't work under OS X Leopard.

Python Launcher is used to launch Python apps by double-clicking on them in the Finder, and is thus useful when testing GUI Python apps.

I wasted a bit of time trying to track down where exactly I had done something wrong in configuring my system so I hope this simple post keeps someone else from the same fate!

Based on the issue ticket at python.org, the bug appears to be fixed but I'm not sure which version it will be/was released in (I'm running Python 2.5.1 and experiencing the issue).
