/*
 * This wrapper program executes a python executable hidden inside an
 * application bundle inside the Python framework. This is needed to run
 * GUI code: some GUI API's don't work unless the program is inside an
 * application bundle.
 *
 * This program uses posix_spawn rather than plain execv because we need
 * slightly more control over how the "real" interpreter is executed.
 *
 * On OSX 10.4 (and earlier) this falls back to using exec because the
 * posix_spawnv functions aren't available there.
