So, I've written my first GUI app in python. I've turned it into a
binary .exe and .app that runs on Windows and Mac respectively, but on
my Linux box, where I wrote the thing, I still have to drop to the
command line and ./myscript.py. What can I do to make it a "click and
run" sort of application in KDE or Gnome on Linux?

There are *no* "click and run" on linux, since the GUI is an option,
not a part of the OS.
What you're looking for is WM/DesktopManager specific. You'll find the
answers in the Gnome and KDE manuals.

I don't really understand what you mean... Have you tried simply
creating a "shortcut"
that points to your script.py?
That should make it run with a click...

Yeah, and please don't accidentally remove the option to type 'myscript.py'
on the command line -- that's how I almost always start GUI programs. If I
like them enough, I edit my window manager's config so that it appears in a
suitable place in the menus. Nine applications have made that list during
the past fifteen years ;-)

Have you heard of a "shebang line"?
That is when the first line of a file starts with #!
You probably want ...
#!/usr/bin/env python
That will run the commandline from that first line.
Remember, it must be the very first thing (no spaces).
You may also need to be in a particular directory in
order to access program resources. I usually end up
making a little .sh script like ...
#!/bin/sh
cd /my/python/prog/dir && python myprog.py
Most of the recent window managers are using the
so called .desktop files. You could copy one of
those from another program (try creating a "link
to application" or an "applicatio n launcher" on
your desktop).
I think most wms will also just run your shell
script if the permissions are set correctly.
