You're using an API that causes the bouncing from an program in an  
application bundle (the embedded Python.app).  Appearently some API's  
transform a process from a normal process to a GUI process if the  
program's binary is inside an application bundle.

Maybe this can be fixed by making Python.app a faceless application,  
although we should then thoroughly test if pythonw keeps working.

If it is we can fix this for python2.5 but not for 2.4, 2.4.4 was  
just released and is almost certainly the last release in the 2.4.x  
branch.
