until recently, when i ran my wxPython application on macosx, it would appear
in the list of running applications as "Python" with a rotund rocketship icon.
now, it appears as "wxDocsViewer" with the i-in-a-hypnotic-blue-circle icon.
does anyone know what happened?
it's not a big deal but it does mean that if i have my app running, then
i can't start wxDocsViewer by clicking on its icon in the dock (it just
brings my app's window into focus).

How are you launching it? With "python myscript.py" on a command line, or by double clicking on myscript.py?
does anyone know what happened?
Not sure, perhaps you have changed "Open with" properties on the wxDocsViewer script and accidentally clicked the Change All button?

Oh, and for the Microsoft solution, have you rebooted your Mac since this started happening?

i invoke the following #! script from the command line (in xterm):
but if i invoke "python myscript" then it goes back to normal.

i've worked it out. i recently auto-generated a directory full of shell scripts
that invoke the binaries within /Applications and one of them was called "Python"
and it launched the version of python that comes with wxDocsViewer
(/Applications/wxDocsViewer.app/Contents/MacOS/Python) and it's first in my path.
i should have guessed. that script is gone and it's all better now.
