Why give a higher priority to .pyw if the .py also exists? Shouldn't there be a way to select one or the other, maybe with a command line flag or whatever? And, while we're at it: What IMO needs to be fixed is that there is no way for a .pyw file to show exceptions to the user. Maybe the console window is not such a bad idea. Maybe it could be opened on demand, as soon as there is something printed to stderr? > The first line of the file is read and parsed. The line must start with > a shebang (#!).
