I'm not sure what's the right list for this question.
In Snow Leopard, double-clicking a .pyw file opens the script in a Terminal window, while it should not (and used not to, in previous OS X versions.)
Both .py and .pyw files are Python scripts. The difference, quite uniform among OS, is that .py are console Python scripts, while .pyw are GUI Python scripts.
In Snow Leopard, Python Launcher.app is correctly configured to open only "Python Script" files in a Terminal window, not "Python GUI Scripts".
The problem is that the system maps both .py and .pyw extensions to the "Python Script" filetype (public.python-script)
Who's the culprit? Is this an OS bug?
How can I fix it on my system? I've perused the available documentation on Uniform Type Identifier, but they don't mention where the central database is, or how to patch it.
