Paul Moore added the comment: You can actually handle this already, with a simple wrapper program (based on the one in PC\WinMain.c):
/* Minimal main program -- everything is loaded from the library. */ #include "Python.h" #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN #include <windows.h> int wmain() { wchar_t **myargv = malloc((__argc + 3) * sizeof(wchar_t*)); int i; myargv[0] = __wargv[0]; myargv[1] = L"myapp.zip"; for (i = 1; i < __argc; ++i) { myargv[1+i] = __wargv[i]; } myargv[1+i] = 0; return Py_Main(__argc+1, myargv); } This injects your application name "myapp.zip" as the first argument and then calls the Python main interpreter. Run this with a conventional embedded Python, and you have a standalone application. You can easily tidy the above sample up (it's just a quick hack) to make it generic by working out the name of the zipped Python application from the exe name. But thanks for the idea - I hadn't really thought about doing something like this until you prompted me to investigate. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28137> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
