python.exe and pythonw.exe are both Windows executables. There are no non- Windows executables in a Python for Windows package. python.exe is used for console apps or interactive sessions. pythonw.exe suppresses the console window. You use it to launch GUI apps that don't need a console. You can't use it for an interactive session, and it makes no sense to start it without also specifying a Python program to run. Python source files named with the ".pyw" extension are associated with pythonw.exe, while ".py" is associated with python.exe. -- 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 -- pass it on -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
