I always make my Tkinter python files have the creator 'Pyth', so when I
double click them the interpreter fires up, NOT the IDE. Or I drag them onto
the interpreter. Setting the preference so that the interpreter doesn't hang
around after the app quits makes it feel more natural.

It reminds me a little of the HyperCard problem, where nobody wanted so see
even the tiniest trace of HyperCard as a stack was launched... no
'HyperCard' in the menu bar...no File, Edit, Go menus... Because most of my
scripts are personal widgets I've learned to live with the poor aesthetics..

Once I finish my script, I normally save it as an Applet, so that I never
accidentally run it in the interpreter. (when I normally have other unsaved
and unsaveable scripts on the go)
