encoding, I presume

Exactly like the below? It doesn't have a #! or encoding line like you 
were saying.

How, _exactly_, are you executing this program? That's a bash error 
(the shell):

$ fe=Tk()
-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('

This suggests to me that the #!/usr/bin/pythonw line is not the _first_ 
line in your script. If you save the above program as helloworld.py 
(with the #! and encoding line), and execute it at the prompt:

$ pythonw helloworld.py

If that works, you can make your script executable and run it directly:

$ chmod +x helloworld.py
$ ./helloworld.py
