 Platypus 4.0
Platypus is a developer tool for the Mac OS X operating system. It can
be used to create native, flawlessly integrated 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 thus makes it possible for you to share your scripts
and programs with those unfamiliar with the command line interface,
without any knowledge of the 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.
Supports shell scripts, Perl, Python, PHP, Ruby, Expect, Tcl, AppleScript
Supports arbitrary interpreter -- thus support for any script type
Executing scripts with root privileges via Apple's Security Framework
Drag and drop files, which are passed to the script as arguments
Graphical feedback of script execution: progress bar or text window with script output
Can create applications which run in the background
Sophisticated app bundle configuration for associated file types, identifier, version etc.
Graphical interface for bundling support files with script
Built-in script editor, or linking with external editor of choice
Set own application icon or select from presets
Command line tool for automating script application bundling
Creating installers, maintenance applications, login items, launchers,
automations and droplets is very easy using Platypus.
