Ah, but you specifically said it was a command 
line program, so I thought you wanted to run it 
that way. :-)

You could use Applescript for that.

Is that available for the Mac?

Unless there are precompiled binaries available 
you don't. I didn't even know Qt was available 
for the Mac.

If you only need a GUI launcher you might be 
better off using the standard Python GUI Tkinter 
which runs on almost any platform that Python 
runs on. Thats why its the standard... wxPython 
also works on Mac but I haven't tried it.
