It's not perfect, but it's still a lot better than the situation on any other unix I've seen so far.
Better than Unix, sure. But you can (and ActivePython does do) install everything under:
/opt/$app_name/...> open DMG, don't run the app from here, drag it to your > Applications folder, then eject this window/disk, then run it from > /Applications,
A decently-designed application should be runnable from anywhere, including a dmg, if the user wants to do that. If an app refuses to run from a dmg, I consider that a bug in the application.
Yes, but the typical user probably wants to run the app from their /Applications folder (or somewhere else on their harddrive). When they start running from the mounted DMG, they can't then unmount the DMG to clean up. Actually the typical non-geek user doesn't care where they run the app from. They don't want to worry about those details.
