[Pythonmac-SIG] PythonLauncher replacement for Python 2.4.x universal builds?

I'm thinking about finally moving over to the universal Python 2.4.x  
build on my Intel duo iMac rather than using the Python 2.3.5 and  
wxPython that it shipped with. One concern I have though is a  
replacement for PythonLauncher which I still use regularly to  
launch .py and .pyw wxPython and PythonCard programs from the Finder.  
Creating standalones of these applications with py2app is not my  
goal,  nor would it be an adequate workaround as the programs can  
change frequently and rebuilding a standalone would be an  
unacceptable overhead. Having to run the scripts from the Terminal  
all the time would be a pain.

Currently, I can choose to edit the files or run them simply by  
choosing a different editor or PythonLauncher via the Open With menu  
item which works just as well for aliases to the files. If its  
possible to make something equivalent to PythonLauncher that would  
basically work the same way that would be acceptable.

Thanks in advance for a pointer to an updated PythonLauncher or  
workaround!
