This creates a :code:`script.app` in the :code:`dist` folder. Make sure to use GUI packages in your Python code, like `PyQt <https://riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/intro>`_ or `PySide <http://wiki.qt.io/About-PySide>`_, to control the graphical parts of the app.

There are several options in :code:`script.spec` related to Mac OS X app bundles `here <http://pythonhosted.org/PyInstaller/#spec-file-options-for-a-mac-os-x-bundle>`_. For example, to specify an icon for the app, use the :code:`icon=\path\to\icon.icns` option.
