The name that shows up in the menu is derived by OS X from the
application name in the executing application bundle. If you don't
package your program up as an OS X application bundle, defaults will be
used; in the case of Python OS X framework builds, Python provides a
Python.app within the framework to allow the Python process to be
automatically promoted to a full OS X gui process. Probably the
simplest approach is to use py2app to create a double-clickable app with
the name you want. There's an example in an answer to a similar
question on Stackoverflow. And there are some old but still relevant
details documented in the Tcl/TkAqua FAQ.
