creating single-instance executables using python/py2exe
Hi, I have created an application using python/wxPython and py2exe. I have associated a certain file extension with this application so that when I double-click the file, my application is launched. The application runs fine except that a new instance is created when I double click on two different files. Is there a way in which I can make sure only one instance is created? Any additional files are opened in the same running instance? Would appreciate any comments/feedback. thanks, Satchit -- Satchidanand Haridas (sharidas at zeomega dot com) ZeOmega (www.zeomega.com) Open Minds' Open Solutions -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Satchidanand Haridas enlightened us with: a new instance is created when I double click on two different files. Is there a way in which I can make sure only one instance is created? You could open a listening socket to listen for open file commands. If opening that socket fails (address already in use), connect a client socket to it, send the appropriate open file command, and exit. That way, you even have a cross-platform solution.
