[PYTHON] refers to your Python command or executable. For example, in Windows the Python command is usually py, and in some Linux distributions this might be python3 or python3.11. This can also be the path to the executable; for example, in Windows it would be the path to python.exe.
[PYTHONW] refers to the Windows pythonw.exe executable which disables things like command line output for slightly better performance.
