Okay, I'm whitelisted now. I see etotheipi posted my gist already.

Here's my .app: http://goo.gl/WUmVc

I'd love it if you guys test it, since I can't. Syncing the blockchain for the first time sucks.

Some comments distributing python inside the app:
The interpreter itself is really small, but the largest portion of any python distribution is the stdlib (lib dir if you use virtualenv), which is around 40MB. You could probably remove some stuff from that, but IMO that's not something you should mess with.

I include the needed Qt libraries (QtCore and QtGui) inside the app so that users don't have to worry about it, this adds 70MB, so it's now the largest part. Unfortunately there aren't many ways to remove this without making it less fool-proof.

Working great so far on my Mac OSX 10.8.2, just needs to clean up the look a bit. Like add the armory logo, also in the dock it shows the name as python, and has a terminal logo.

I'm also on Mac OS X 10.8.2, but the app crashes every time I open it.
