Sounds awfully complicated...

AppleScript has no concept of a "current directory".

BTW, I'd suggest the dabo wrapper for wxPython, it's much easier to  
handle.
(see dabodev.com)
It's in fact a 3-tier framework, but I myself use it only for the GUI.
But, of course, additional libraries make a py2app generated app even  
bigger.
