python.exe is a console executable, pythonw.exe is a GUI executable.
Hence python.exe automatically gets a console window, while pythonw.exe
doesn't. That's the whole reason why Windows has separate python.exe and
pythonw.exe programs, while Unix can use a single /usr/bin/python
program for both GUI and console usage.
The Windows approach makes it easier to Do The Right Thing automatically

Except it provides no easy way to capture the contents of that “console”,
for when you’re trying to track down problems, because it disappears as
soon as the program exits.
It would be a stretch indeed to call this “doing the right thing”,
automatically or otherwise.
Once I realized you had no objective other than Windows bashing, I
dropped out of this thread.
And yet here you are back again, like a bad smell.
If the answer to this present pseudo-complaint isn't obvious to you, you
clearly don't know Windows.
I was just going by what was said in another thread:
As you've noticed, many times a program started from the start menu
doesn't leave its command window open long enough to read the messages.
Maybe it was the write of this who “clearly doesn’t know Windows”?
Gee, maybe when "you're trying to track down problems", you might try
starting the application in a console?
