Hello, I am trying to make a desktop icon for a newbie script I wrote while Teaching myself Python. I wanted it to be a clickable desktop icon for OS X.
Plus, I guess I can use Icon Composer to make it a pic.
Any ideas?!
Thanks...

Jump to PostAh. Have you looked at py2app? This might be a little overkill for a backup script, but if you can't find anything else...
Also I'm not sure these work on Mac, but maybe you can create a symbolic link (shortcut) to the script and change its icon?

oh, no.... I wrote a backup script and wanted it to be executed from an icon on the desktop... not sure if there is a sort of module for making an icon with python or should I use something else and if so, wondering what else.
