I am not exactly sure what pythonw is, could you refresh? Is this a
special windows version?

On a side note, someone have noted that the python is broken on the
latest windows nightlies, would you try to confirm that? As in, can it
open the python console in pcbnew?

And further, I would like other peoples comments on my first reply and
the statements I make therein.
