Hi, personally I think this change (calling python.exe rather than pythonw.exe) will be a serious regression when using meld with a tool such as TortoiseHg. TortoiseHg _always_ calls meld with parameters. This means that every time that you would use meld to diff or merge files from TortoiseHg (or any similar tool) you'd see a prompt window appear.
