This isn't needed as there already is similar code in 
Mac/IDLE/idlemain.py, an initialization script that gets invoked when 
IDLE.app is launched and that goes on to call idlelib.Pyshell.main.  
(BTW, this has nothing to do with py2app which is not used by IDLE or 
anything else in the standard library.)
