== Introduction ==

On Mac OS X, both 'python' and 'pythonw' exist as commands, but 'pythonw' needs to be called for any wxPython app run from the command line.

== Solution ==

The code sample below when called from a main script checks whether the script is running from within a Mac OS X app bundle.
If not, it re-rexecutes the same script with the same arguments using ''pythonw''.

It's simple, but useful for distributing cross-platform apps that can be run from the command line.

== Code Sample ==

{{{
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys,os

def reexec_with_pythonw():
    if sys.platform == 'darwin' and\
           not sys.executable.endswith('MacOS/Python'):
        print >>sys.stderr,'re-executing using pythonw'
        os.execvp('pythonw',['pythonw',__file__] + sys.argv[1:])

}}}
