That sounds very suspicious. On OS X installs, bin/python and
bin/pythonw are supposed to be identical.
Indeed you are right. The python and pythonw varieties are
identical for Python 2.7 and my wxPython application works fine
with either.
I tried again with my Python 2.5.4 install and that does have the
problem.
Which python 2.5.4 is that (that is, how did you install it)? Are
you sure that 'python' and 'pythonw' refer to the same python
installation (what is sys.prefix for these two commands)?
I'm using standard python.org <http://python.org> builds.

Hmmm, it might be something to do with my virtualenv setup (I've only
just started using virtualenv).

AFAIK pythonw doesn't work in virtualenvs and within a virtualenv the
python command is the real embedded interpreter, not the pythonw
wrapper you get otherwise.
This is something that needs to be fixed by someone. I'm more likely
to work on a simular tool that supports both 2.x and 3.x and doesn't
install crap I didn't ask for and isn't mentioned in the documentation.
I'm not clear which tool you are referring too. I'm presuming
virtualenv, right ?? or are you referring to the pythonw wrapper ??
Does virtualenv have some downsides that I'm not aware of ??
It seems like a great idea to be able to install separate modules into
separate virtual environments so that each project can use different
modules, or different versions of the same module, etc.
Cheers, Brendan.
