The python executable in a virtualenv is not equivalent to "pythonw"  
while the regular one is. That is, the executable that gets started  
when you start python outside of a virtual env is one that's located  
in an .app bundle (check sys.executable for evidence).

I'll probably get around to fixing virtualenv in the near future as  
I'm about to move my development environment to something that's  
entirely based on clean installs of Python with per-project virtual  
environments.  I've looked into such a fix in the past as well and  
getting the semantics of virtualenv exactly right could be a  
challenge, but still doable.
