[New-bugs-announce] [issue25360] pyw should search for pythonw to implement #!/usr/bin/env python

[eryksun]

New submission from eryksun:

The Windows launcher searches PATH to implement the shebang "#!/usr/bin/env". Given "#!/usr/bin/env python", it always searches for L"python" (see issue 17903), even in pyw.exe. maybe_handle_shebang in PC/launcher.c should instead use a macro that's conditionally defined as L"pythonw" when building pyw.exe and L"python" when building py.exe. This parallels the existing PYTHON_EXECUTABLE macro.
