I remember this came up recently, but I don't know where it's coming  
out: Is it likely that the python/pythonw distinction will disappear?

I ask because I have to write a getting-started sheet for some  
students taking up Python, on various platforms. I know that any time  
I can eliminate a branch, incomprehension diminishes by 36.8%, so  
getting rid of "If you're on a Mac, this line should end with  
'pythonw' rather than 'python' …" would be nice.
