thanks:
how do i specify pythonw programmatically?
i tried Py_SetProgramName("pythonw");

it doesn't raise errors, but does not solve the problem on mac, i.e. i
get the error:

This program needs access to the screen.
Please run with 'pythonw', not 'python', and only when you are logged
in on the main display of your Mac.
