I have no problem adding a call to TransformProcessType (or whatever 
will be needed) to wxPython's startup code.  I think it's safe to assume 
that if wx is being imported then the process should be promoted to a 
full desktop app.  Since this requirement will appear in some specific 
version of Python it will be easy to make the API call be conditionally 
compiled.
