Ronald Oussoren <ronaldousso...@mac.com> added the comment:
I'm fairly sure support for .pyw, or rather a separate python executable, was introduced in the MacOSX port. In particular, we started out with two different executables "python" and "pythonw" where the first was the regular python executable, while the second did the "launch executable in Python.app" dance to support GUI code from the command-line. This was changed later on to always use the executable from Python.app. P.S. I still think Python Launcher is worrisome from a security standpoint (#5262). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36516> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
