Name of the Application?
Submitted by js on Sat, 2009-02-07 22:37.
Hi!
When using gtk-osx together with pygtk, the name of the application is always "Python". So is the main entry in the menu bar. Is there a way to change this?
Mac OS always shows the name
Mac OS always shows the name of the binary as app name (it's the same for other python or tk apps for example). You could possibly try to use a symlink to python or run the script itself (with a #!/... line first and having the script executable, not sure if that works).
It didn't help using #!,
It didn't help using #!, actually, it was like this. It's always called "Python", with an uppercase P, no matter how I name it. The binary in fact is called "python2.5". So it seems Python somehow changes the name of the app and now I want to change it to something else :).
You -can't- change the name
You -can't- change the name as far as I know, it's always the name of the binary (for security reasons probably). I guess the Python name is coming from the Python.app that is launched for gui apps behind the scenes...
