[Pythonmac-SIG] Bundlebuilder vs. save as applet

[Jack Jansen]

Good suggestions! I'm not sure how feasible the plugin idea would be 
(it would need to do GUI things, and I'm not sure we can pull off 
something that would work in, say, all of Cocoa, Tkinter and wxPython 
based GUI apps), but we may be able to come up with some sort of a 
trick that at least makes it look like a plugin.

Could you add a SF feature request, please, and assign it to me?
