I have a python project in the form of binary which can be distributed to
other mac pcs without dependency installation. I want to create an .app file
for this project same as other apps(terminal.app, finder.app etc). How could i
achieve that.

Here are my suggestions, in no particular order:

(a) Google/ask to see if someone has written a generic wrapper for Python binaries. It seems likely someone has been down this road before.

(b) I've written a generic Cocoa app wrapper for command tools. You customize it with a simple interface developed in Interface Builder. The wrapper then automatically converts the interface settings into command line arguments and runs your tool. I'm happy to share.

(c) Continue this line of inquiry on the Cocoa-dev list if you want create a Cocoa-based solution (recommended), the Carbon-dev list if you want to develop a Carbon-based solution (not recommended), and post any project development questions to the Xcode-users list. The filesystem-dev list is for questions specifically about filesystem and filesystem APIs.
