A .pyw file is used sometimes when developing Python programs designed 
to run in Windows. The .pyw file is loaded using pythonw.exe instead of 
python.exe. The execution is pretty much the same, except that 
pythonw.exe will not show a text console window. You would do this if 
your program has a GUI. Give most of your files a standard .py 
extension, but the main one that starts and loads a GUI should have a 
.pyw extension. This will cause the program to load and open its GUI 
without also opening a text console window when the .pyw file is clicked.
