I just tried that, but it didn't seem to work for me. PythonLauncher  
started, ran for about 5 seconds, and then exited.
Perhaps a versions problem?

What I have that does work is a small shell script, run_RE.sh, like so:

#! /bin/sh
#
# A quick shell script to launch the PythonCard Resource Editor
#
python ./resourceEditor.py
#
#

And then I tagged all ".sh" files to be opened with Terminal. So now I  
can click the icon for run_RE.sh and it launches a Terminal window,  
and then Resource Editor on top of that. A bit cludgy, but it works.

Any other ideas out there?
