I think (unless someone else recognizes this problem) that you'll have 
to explain more about the situation.  What does "run twice" really mean? 
  How are you running it (command line, and icon, or what)?  Have you 
tried reducing your script down to the smallest version that still 
causes the undesirable behaviour?

For example, if you use the same techniques to compile, install, and run 
the following script, does it still "run twice" (whatever that means)?

if __name__ == '__main__':
     print "I'm running now."
