The file extension is only a factor when the command line executes the script,
not when it runs Python directly. The first case executes the script via
python.exe, which inherits or allocates a console. The second case uses
pythonw.exe, which does not inh
The default file association for ".pyw" scripts runs the template command
`"path\to\pyw.exe" "%1" %*`. "pyw.exe" is a GUI launcher that executes and
waits on "pythonw.exe". The selected version depends on an active virtual
environment and any "-X[.Y][-32|

I can't answer that but I can say that I schedule my local machine backup with

a python script. The only way I could get it working reliably was fully
specified ...
