Sorry in advance for what may, in fact, be a naive post, but I am trying to figure out the significance of pythonw on OSX. I know that you need to run pythonw if you intend to use python programs with certain graphical backends, otherwise the UI becomes unresponsive. Running idle from the command line, for example, starts an instance of idle that is unusable. My question is: why have both python and pythonw? When would you ever *not* want user interfaces not to work? This problem does not arise on other platforms, does it? Its a bit of a hassle, at the moment, to try and figure out when to use one or the other. Are there any plans to remove this apparently unnecessary dichotomy?
Thanks for any information, Chris _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
