I've tested the LSUIElement key with a GUI script, and based on that I'm opposed to including that key in Python.app. You can always wrap your scripts in an app bundle that does have the key set, or investigate how to avoid getting the rocket icon in the dock when you use appscript, as Has suggested.

Agreed. Today's MacPython is, or should be, a superset of standard *nix Python. OS X is *nix at the shell level, and tools that work on other *nixes ought to work the same on OS X, otherwise you end up in a situation where users have to maintain two separate Python installations for compatibility. Users won't like that; neither, I suspect, would Apple.
Bill's problem is with appscript; that's where the fix should be as well. I don't have time to work on it, but y'all are welcome to grab the latest trunk and hack on it.
