Remove default "Python" submenu with Tkinter Menu on Mac OSX

When creating a Menu in Tkinter on Mac OSX, the very first submenu is labeled "Python". Is there a way to remove this so that the only submenus are the ones that I have created or does that submenu always exist no matter what?

Here is how I'm creating my menu

root = self.winfo_toplevel()
self.menu = Menu(root)
root['menu'] = self.menu
self.sub_menu = Menu(self.menu)
self.menu.add_cascade(label='My Program', menu=self.sub_menu)
self.sub_menu.add_command(label='Quit', command=self.quit)

The only way I've been able to rename the first Menu title is to compile the python to an application. I did this using py2app.

I have an example app you can see here:

The key code is in this file:
