But now you’re no longer talking about Windows. Windows is the only one that gets it backwards like this, forcing the creation of GUI elements for non- GUI-based programs, and not for GUI-based ones. More reasonably-designed systems, such as you describe above, make no such distinction between “GUI” and “non-GUI” programs. There is no difference based on the name of your executable, how it is built, or what libraries it links to; the only difference is in its run-time behaviour, whether it invokes any GUI functions or not. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
