Oh ok. Thanks. In windows xp I just renamed the file extension to .pyw
That did it.
one more question...
how do I create a pythonw standalone executable that works on w32,
linux, mac, etc..?
I have noticed that when applications are written in Python with the
GUI created by PyGTK, it seems that to install the application on each
slightly different version of unix is a fairly major task - although
the creators of PyGTK proudly say that the code will run anywhere, it
definitely will not install anywhere - the code will only run on a
slightly different system after a massive and major rewrite of the
install for that target system.
Horrible installs are a chronic problem GUI programs driven by
interpreted languages Installing visual basic programs that worked on
one Windows machine to work on a very slightly different windows
machine was also a nightmare.
I have not attempted to create installable wxPython windows, but
generally, "run anywhere" will bite you. Still looking for a good
solution to "run anywhere".

I haven't had much trouble getting wxPython applications to run in
Windows XP and Ubuntu Hardy Heron. Of course, my GUIs aren't extremely
complex, but I did make use of Hammond's PyWin32 package and had to
wrap those in Platform aware conditional statements. Plus wx was
pretty easy to install in Ubuntu, so that was cool.
same with me,
wxPython, packed with py2exe + ino setup,
runs out of the box on XP, Vista, Ubuntu without any problem.
cheers,
Stef
I can't really comment on other toolkits though.
