Platypus is a developer tool for the Mac OS X operating system. It can be used to create native Mac OS X applications from interpreted scripts such as shell scripts or Perl and Python programs. This is done by wrapping the script in an application bundle directory structure along with an executable binary that runs the script. Platypus makes it easy for you to share your scripts and programs with those unfamiliar with the command line interface, without any knowledge of the native Mac OS X APIs -- a few clicks and you will have your own Mac OS X graphical program. Creating installers, maintenance applications, login items, launchers, automations and droplets is very easy using Platypus.
