It's an interesting application, but... I tried it to bundle a script 
that puts up a standard Tkinter file save dialog box and I found that 
the dialog box was not in front -- I had to switch applications to get 
to it. Still, it looks useful for fully faceless applications; unlike 
py2applet the text to stdout shows up in a log window.
