In that case, how do you envision users of scripts running them? In the case
of a script with a GUI the user is going to want to treat the script like an
application, or at least that is what we're already doing on Windows and
Linux with wxPython scripts/apps. The user will want the option of a console
window for stdout and stderr (basically debugging). We already have the .pyw
extension for suppressing the console, what does that do on the Mac?
Double-clicking a .py or .pyw file on Windows (Linux too?) runs the script.

If we have to have a separate extension or some other wrapper mechanism for
the Mac, that is going to make doing cross-platform scripts more tedious, so
it would be nice to avoid if possible.
