New to mac. I have leopard. What's the difference between python and
pythonw? So far (which isn't very far) I can't tell the difference.

I have a small application using TKinter that I was working on under
Linux. Both python and pythonw run it, but on both it "stops
responding" (pinwheel of death) when I touch the vertical scrollbar.

On Windows, python runs in console mode (and pops up a console window
if you're not executing the script from a console already), pythonw
runs the script as a background process. I'd imagine that it is the
same for the Mac, and I shouldn't think it has anything to do with
your problem here.
