Amaury Forgeot d'Arc added the comment: RPython... let's be serious. The code of pythonw.exe is very simple, see PC/WinMain.c.
No, pythonw.exe is not "meant to suppresses the terminal window on startup". This is only a consequence of being a "windows application". There is a lot of documentation about this, for example: http://comsci.liu.edu/~murali/win32gui/Win32Apps.htm - python.exe is a regular console application, with a main() function. - pythonw.exe is a gui application, with a WinMain() function; as a consequence, stdout/stderr won't work properly. Again, it's a won't fix for 2.7, unless someone comes with a patch. But this has already been tried, and be careful, different versions of the msvcrt differ in behavior here. ---------- resolution: -> wont fix status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18298> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
