The biggest difference between python and pythonw is the lack of a
console, which may affect some underlying operations you perform
(e.g., prior to Python 2.0, os.popen would no longer work).  So if you
depend on such functions they may be failing to operate properly under
pythonw.

Your best bet would be to add some appropriate diagnostics to your
application (if you've already got stuff going to stdout/stderr, you
can just enable the automatic output window in wxPython by using an
argument of 1 when initialization your application object), and then
compare that output in the two cases to determine where they diverge.
