I have written a desktop application in Python and wxPython, which I am in the process of finetuning. One of the things I want it to be able to do is open on double clicking on specific files (e.g. *.m4baker)

I build it into an M4Baker.app with PyInstaller. That all goes fine but how can I associate a file type to my macOS app?

Note that I am not searching on how to associate the file type after creation but (programmatically / during install?!)

For those interested here is the complete codebase: http://ivo2u.nl/ZR

Any help is appreciated!

You can also use cli commands inside your python script. – Eftychia Thomaidou Mar 16 '21 at 07:47
