Strange... The first thing to check is whether this thing behaves as a 
"real" application. If it is a real application it should have a dock 
icon and a menubar. My guess is that it won't. (I.e. if you *do* have 
an icon and a menubar but you cannot bring windows to the front you've 
found a problem that is new to me).

If it doesn't have an icon the problem is that the program isn't 
properly registered with the window server, and we have to find out why 
not. Try printing sys.executable at the top of your script. It should 
be /Applications/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/python . If it isn't: let us 
know what it is. If it is then somehow your python.app bundle is 
broken. Try rmoving it and building it again.
