How to make python script executable on osx?

I just want to make my script as an application. double-click and run instead of running in terminal. I have done it before with automator but now, on el capitan it doesn\'t

Answer 1

Quick step-by-step to create clickable .app to launch your python scripts.

Launch the Apple ScriptEditor (located in /Applications/Utilities/) and type in the following into the editor:

tell application "Terminal"
    do script with command "python /path/to/your/script.py"
end tell

After, simply hit save and choose to save as an application.

Ps.: If anyone reading this know how to get rid of the Terminal window that opens when you launch the .app, let me know.
