How to configure app to request privacy permissions from OS?

[ajkessel]

My script uses sounddevice.rec() to obtain audio from the system mic. It works fine when run from python command-line in the terminal, but as packaged with py2app it always records nothing. I assume this is because the app does not have system permissions to access the sound input device. But unlike when run in the terminal, the py2app compiled bundle does not bring up a permissions prompt. Is there a workaround for this situation?
