[issue36516] Python Launcher can not recognize pyw file as Python GUI Script file type correctly.

[Ronald Oussoren]

Ronald Oussoren  added the comment:

I'm fairly sure support for .pyw, or rather a separate python executable, was 
introduced in the MacOSX port. In particular, we started out with two different 
executables "python" and "pythonw" where the first was the regular python 
executable, while the second did the "launch executable in Python.app" dance to 
support GUI code from the command-line.  This was changed later on to always 
use the executable from Python.app.

P.S. I still think Python Launcher is worrisome from a security standpoint 
(#5262).

Thanks for the PR.

I believe there also used to be a distinction between .py and .pyw files back 
in the distant past of classic MacOS (9 and earlier) and limited support for 
.pyw was carried over into Mac OS X (10).  But most of the references to .pyw 
for macOS have been removed over the years other than, it seems, here in Python 
Launcher.app. There are other more basic concerns with the Launcher app so I 
have been holding off on merging this change for 3.9.  I plan to make a 
decision about its fate by the end of the PyCon sprints in April.

I might have missed something, but I thought .pyw files were a Windows specific 
thing.

New submission from Jiongjiong Gao :

In Python Launcher Preferences there are two settings for file type, Python 
Script and Python GUI Script. But Python Launcher can not recognize pyw file as 
Python GUI Script file type correctly.
