If you can run a wx or tkinter (or other cross-platform GUI) app on Mac OS 
without needing anything special, but users would prefer to have the .app, 
it would probably be a good idea to have it, even if the original developer 
hasn't targeted that platform specifically.  For example, packages like 
idle or the pydoc tkinter GUI would seem to merit something like this.
