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. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/py2app http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8695926/remove-default-python-submenu- with-tkinter-menu-on-mac-osx http://wiki.tcl.tk/12987 -- Ned Deily, nad@acm.org
