Re: [Py2exe-users] how to build same executabl with and without console output
Is there any trick in adding a console window to an application, that was built as 'windows' application? I was recently wondering the same thing myself. My research indicates that its not possible to have a single Windows application that can run in both console and GUI (Windows) modes. Here are 2 links that explain this in more detail. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/493536/can-one-executable-be-both-a-console-and-gui-app http://objectmix.com/delphi/403126-sending-output-stdout-non-console-app.html Malcolm -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
