Any
idea why this happens? I'm using the /usr/bin/python, consistently.
If a non-GUI process launched from an .app bundle calls certain OS
APIs, OS X automatically upgrades it to full GUI status. e.g. Py-
appscript has this problem, despite having no need for a Window
Manager connection itself: it calls Process Manager, which is one of
the APIs in question, and the python interpreter is packaged as
an .app, so you get a bouncing Dock icon any time you use appscript
from the command line. By comparison, Ruby's interpreter isn't
packaged as an .app, so using rb-appscript won't automatically GUI-fy
your ruby process.
