nope.

right, so you add the -A:

python setup.py py2app -A

which is trivial for the simple case, and you can use the py2applet 
script to build it for you.

$ py2applet

usage: py2applet --make-setup [options...] script.py [data files...]
    or: py2applet [options...] script.py [data files...]
    or: py2applet --help


but yes, if you just want to run a really quickie little GUI script, you 
want to just run it! Which is why we all want that to still work.

The alias option works great for a small-to-huge GUI app under 
development, though -- once you've built the applet, you can just keep 
using it as you change your code, and it give you drag and drop and all 
that.
