Summary: GUI scripts always return to an interpreter

Initial Comment:
I installed the latest version of 2.5 from the web last night:

Python 2.5 (r25:51918, Sep 19 2006, 08:49:13) 
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5341)] on darwin

When I run a wxPython script, using something like

pythonw myScript.py

from the Terminal, I find myself in an interpreter after I use the quit 
menu. The menubar becomes a single, hung python menu, and a shell 
window pops up with an interpreter prompt. Cntrl-D kills the interpreter.

It's as if python was stuck in "-i" mode:

pythonw -i myScript.py

gives the same results.

(python and pythonw give the same results. It appears from comments on 
the web that they are now the same. They appear so from a diff. If so, why 
not a symlink?)

Running the lastest wxPython demo gives this warning in the console, 

2006-09-29 15:40:06.681 wxPython Demo[942] WARNING: 
_wrapRunLoopWithAutoreleasePoolHandler got kCFRunLoopExit, but there 
are no autorelease pools in the stack.

which may or may not be related.

I tried:

Olivos:~ jj$ echo $PYTHONINSPECT

Olivos:~ jj$ 

Looks like it isn't set. 

However, this might be a wxPython bug. I tried a tcl/tk app from the demos:
Applications/MacPython 2.5/Extras/Demo/tkinter/guido/solitaire.py.

Quitting it worked fine. 

I'll post something on the wxPython mac list.

Could you check if it is set? (using
echo $PYTHONINSPECT in a console?)

No, I didn't set the PYTHONINSPECT env variable. If it was set, it was by 
something else.

Did you (or someone else) perhaps set the PYTHONINSPECT
environment variable? I can't imagine another cause for this
problem.
