The name that shows up in the menu is derived by OS X from the 
application name in the executing application bundle.  If you don't 
package your program up as an OS X application bundle, defaults will be 
used; in the case of Python OS X framework builds, Python provides a 
Python.app within the framework to allow the Python process to be 
automatically promoted to a full OS X gui process.  Probably the 
simplest approach is to use py2app to create a double-clickable app with 
the name you want.  There's an example in an answer to a similar 
question on Stackoverflow.  And there are some old but still relevant 
details documented in the Tcl/TkAqua FAQ.
