Yeah, there'd have to be some kind of error accumulation buffer.  I'd
love to work on this but don't have the time...

I don't see any messages that make it appear as if an error occurs.
Since there's apparently a bug report on this, I'm hopeful it'll be

I can't use python -vv because the launcher won't accept it.

[p6:5015] ~%pythonw -vv
original argc=2
original argv[0] = "/Applications/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/python"
original argv[1] = "-vv"
modified argc=2
modified argv[0] = "/Applications/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/python"
modified argv[1] = "-vv"
-vv: can't open file '-vv'
