Like other people said, you probably don't want to do that, but unlike other
people, I'll answer your question.

mkdir ~/Desktop/MyProg.app
echo '#!/usr/bin/env pythonw /path/gui.pyw' > ~/Desktop/MyProg.app/MyProg
chmod +x ~/Desktop/MyProg.app/MyProg

double click MyProg on the desktop and it should launch your python program
using pythonw
