But a jar file is not executable on Windows and never has been. You can't go to the cmd.exe window and type "myprogram.jar." Maybe it can be opened with a file association linking it to a Java runtime executable. But it's certainly not a Windows executable. And I've never ever seen anyone launch a java jar file by double clicking on it. Most people provide .bat files to start it, or a lnk file that contains the necessary java flags. As Chris said with file associations you can already double-click on a py file (or pyw without a console window by convention). -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
