But it is fundamental in Windows, is it not, that every process has a GUI. 
Unless it is a “service”, which runs in the background, and is managed 
separately.

No, it is not. "Console applications" run with stdin, stdout & stderr,
rather like traditional Unix programs. They can also have character
graphics UIs, in terminal windows. 

Classic Mac OS, and iOS, have no concept of a command line, but Windows
definitely has one, or several if you want.

So why do Python scripts, for example, have to come in two varieties on 
Windows, with different extensions “.PY” versus “.PYW”?

Don't know, but it seems unwise to try to deduce fundamental properties
of an OS from Python, a language that creates a lot of abstractions of
its own and then implements them on top of different operating systems.

Hint: the difference has to do with how GUIs are handled.

Windows definately does do "console" applications.  What is missing, is
the ability to run a console application without the GUI running itself,
but the standard C "Hello world" program does run on Windows.

I’m not sure what you mean by “the GUI running itself”. Windows
executables either use the CUI (console) or GUI subsystem, and this is
represented by a field in the PE file header, rather than being a
behavior of the application after it starts.

CUI subsystem applications always run within a console, either inherited
from the parent process, or created automatically if there isn’t one to
inherit. GUI subsystem applications don’t normally get one (but can
create one). Presumably a GUI subsystem application doesn’t have to open
any Window at all if it doesn’t want to.

In Python the .py vs .pyw distinction presumably allows file
associations to a CUI subsystem version of the interpreter and a GUI
subsystem version of the interpreter.

Which is a pretty dumb way of doing it, don’t you think? But it was all a 
part of the 1990s trend of building the GUI inextricably into the OS 
kernel. A trend which *nix-type systems never succumbed to.

It’s not necessarily how I’d have done it, but in the big picture, it
doesn’t seem very different from any other way that an application
declares its dependencies and the system arranges for them to be
satisfied.

AFAIK the only graphical component of Windows that was ever in the
kernel was GDI, which is a low-level drawing AP and isn’t relevant
here. So, I don’t think it was part of such a trend, to the extent that
the supposed trend ever existed in the first place.

It is the reason you need two different versions of the Python interpreter 
on Windows. Or of any other language interpreter that wants to offer the 
option of running with a GUI or without.

It is the reason why the use of a GUI has to be declared within the 
executable, before it can even start executing. So that the part of the 
kernel that is responsible for launching executables can decide whether to 
set up the process to use a GUI or not.

No, you have it exactly backwards. The distinction in the executable
determines whether it is attached to a console (see the references
posted earlier). Either type of excecutable can create GUI windows.

You mean a GUI console?

Again, this distinction does not exist on *nix systems.

Not necessarily. The console could be a GUI (conhost or Windows
Terminal), just as in Linux the terminal implementatiom could be a GUI
such as xterm but it equally could be some other process, for example an
SSH Server.  The executable doesn’t care either way.

The real difference is that Windows executables declare a dependency on
a console up front, Linux executables adapt to the situation they find
themselves in. Evidently the Windows approach isn’t to your taste but
it’s absolutely not the same as “every process having a GUI”.

So processes may not be tied to the GUI, but the GUI is still tied into 
the kernel. This is why it’s not possible to have a modular, replaceable 
GUI, as on *nix systems.

That conclusion doesn’t follow. AFAICT the kernel just launches
something called conhost.exe, but doesn’t much care what that does.

That’s a separate issue from the integration of GDI into the kernel
since NT 4, which AFAIK is largely irrelevant to most modern
applications anyway.


Anyway, I’m now tired of fighting your confirmation bias concerning the
relationship between the Windows GUI and the Windows kernel. Perhaps one
day you’ll calm down and start looking at the situation as it really is,
rather than reinterpreting everything to support your preconceptions.

It does because of the lack of customizability of GUI options on Windows.

For example, look at how Valve was able to create the Steam Deck with a 
GUI specifically optimized for gaming on the handheld form factor. 
Microsoft soon started talking about a “Windows handheld mode” to try to 
compete. That was two years ago. It’s still vapourware.

Another weird distinction: non-console applications don’t get any
standard input/output/error streams, and will abort if they try to
access them
<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9705982/pythonw-exe-or-python-exe/30313091#30313091>.

Again, this is a completely unnecessary distinction, that *nix systems
do not insist on.

Note also the additional fine-print clarifications in the above Stack
Overflow item. There’s a lot of them ...

I can't address what goes on in pythonw but in a straight service

    [DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
    static extern bool AttachConsole(int dwProcessId);
    private const int ATTACH_PARENT_PROCESS = -1;
    static void Main()
    {
      string[] args = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs();
      foreach (string arg in args)
      {
        if (arg == "-v")
        {
          AttachConsole(ATTACH_PARENT_PROCESS);
          Console.WriteLine("{0} version {1}",
              Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Name,
              Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version);
          return;
        }
      }

works nicely if you want to print the version and exit rather than running 
the service.

To the console where you are running the program from the command line. In 
this case the program is a Windows Service and would typically be started 
from the Service Manager, automatically, or 'net start ...' and would not 
have access to the Windows Terminal console. 

No, it's not Linux. otoh with Linux you can run a program like vim from 
Konsole and lose that console,  you can run 'vim &' to background it, then 
you can screw around with bg, and fg. 

Or with Ubuntu I can click on the Tor icon and it comes up with no 
console, or I can start it from Konsole and see all the logging.

One way is not inherently better than the other.
