That short answer is that you don't really want this :-). What you  
seem to want is to create a clickable application and there are  
several ways to do that. The best way is use py2app to build a full  
application bundle, another alternative is using the Applet Builder  
in MacPython (but Apple doesn't ship this tool, so you cannot use  
this with /usr/bin/pythonw).

Py2app can be found here: http://www.python.org/pypi/py2app. It  
includes a number of examples, including some wxPython ones.
