>how can my script know it its running from inside PythonWin?

I addressed this a few months ago:

import sys
if len(sys.modules) > 200: #  running under PythonWin

This is because PythonWin loads a lot of modules beyond what native Python 
does. (IDLE also loads some, but a lot less that PyrthonWin).
