In what way is that better? It creates a new process (IIUC); therefore, I think that using it is worse than using execv. Anybody killing the pythonw process would only kill the wrapper. > The main advantage of the new implementation is that 'arch > -ppc pythonw' works as expected, with the current version of pythonw the > 'arch' command only affects the pythonw executable and not the real > interpreter. I suppose this would also be possible through execv? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6834> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
