It would, I didn't explain myself properly, sorry. When I double click the createwin.py example it opens a dialog with a control and just works. When I double click the webbrowser.py it asks me to be run from inside Pythonwin. I should have asked my question this way: How do I mix createwin.py and webbrowser.py to have them run without opening pythonwin separately and later creating a binary with py2exe? Much longer, though. The reason why I wanted to do this is because I want to embed a the crystal reports activex component in a wxpython application, but my first tries didn't work. OTOH modifying webbrowser.py was easy and worked, but only inside pythonwin. By now I've managed to successfully run the activex component inside wxpython, so I won't need help with the createwin+webbrowser question, though I'm still interested on the technical reasons why one works and the other doesn't (I'm a total newbie to win32 programing). http://lists.wxwidgets.org/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?11:msn:63578:ihehakhbfokpnmnnafdc The example code posted in the above URL doesn't use wxPython's activex module because it doesn't allow me to specify the version of the activex control along with the clsid string, unlike gencache's EnsureModule(). I wonder what trickery does win32com to locate the correct version of the clsid, which wxpython is unable to do. -- Rastertech España S.A.
