how to build same executabl with and without console output
Hi, What I'd like to achieve ideally is to create a py2exe program, which will only display a window (so 'compiled' as 'windows'-application) if called normally. however if being called with the option --debug it should display the graphical window plus a debug console where I can print to. Is there any trick in adding a console window to an application, that was built as 'windows' application? If above is not possible: Is there any way to compile the same python script (myprog.py) from one py2exe script into once a 'windows' executable (myprog.exe) and once into a 'console' executable (myprog_debug.exe)?

I can't think of an easy way to achieve the first approach - I've always taken the second approach. The advanced example included with py2exe has an example of how to do this. Look at all the occurrences of test_wx in the following link to see all the pieces involved: http://py2exe.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/py2exe/trunk/py2exe/py2exe/samples/advanced/setup.py?view=markup This uses an alternate form of the windows and console arguments where each target is an object with specially named member variables rather than a string that names the .py file (this string is one of the member variables). This is necessary so you can give different names to the console version and the windows version. Jimmy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
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
