Bundlebuilder vs. save as applet: msg#00099

Subject: Bundlebuilder vs. save as applet

I'm learning Python and am a bit confused by difference between bundlebuilder.py and save as applet from the PythonIDE. I've been able to save a few tools, such as wxGlade, as applets from the PythonIDE because I find clicking an application icon a bit easier to work with than finding the correct Python script all the time and launching that through PythonLauncher. I can even go into the applet app bundle, hack info.plist, and give it a custom icon. By contrast, whenever I try the bundlebuilder approach, I always seem to mess something up and the app won't launch.

I know the problem is my own learning curve, as bundlebuilder seems more complex (and powerful) than save as applet. What I need to understand is what advantage bundlebuilder offers when save as applet seems to work very well for me (and very simply)? Thanks.
