Comment (by kyngchaos):

 The pythonw requirement is a wxpython thing.  At least they still say to
 use pythonw.

 If you try to run a wxpython-based script from /usr/bin/env python (or
 pythonw), it will run 64bit by default on 10.6, which won't work because
 wxpython is not possible 64bit (yet).

 The problem with the automatic pythonw is that the reexec didn't work and
 the GUI would never start on 10.6, and it even affected some non-OSX
 systems for some reason, so I removed the reexec and required pythonw to
 be used explicitly (r39207).
