I'm trying to generate the script file that will launch a PythonCard resource file.

very basic example from the documentation.

    #!/usr/bin/python
    """
    __version__ = "$Revision: 1.10 $"
    __date__ = "$Date: 2004/04/24 22:13:31 $"
    """

    from PythonCard import model
    
    class Minimal(model.Background):
        pass
    
    if __name__ == '__main__':
        app = model.Application(Minimal)
        app.MainLoop()
