I can't speak for Danny, but I'd apprreciate if you could just
post your questions to the tutor list and not CC Danny and
me. I suspect you are using an old thread entry to reply, but
nonetheless I get more than enough email as it is, thanks.

It executes pythonw with the -i option.
Pythonw then executes test.py passing it a -i option.

python -h

will get you a list of all the commandline switches.
-i forces python to end the program and stay in interactive mode
(the >>> prompt), which is very useful for debugging unusual faults.

pythonw runs without a console window.

I assume the same applies on the Mac although I've never
tried using pythonw on my Mac
