Re: [PythonCE] Running Python program without getting Python CE window
The normal .py association on Windows is done with a couple of registry values: 1. Create a key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.py 2. Set the default value of this key to: Python.File 3. Create a key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Python.File\shell\open\command 4. Set the default value to: C:\Python24\python.exe %1 %* Windows CE is the same but the command might be: \Program Files\PythonCE\python.exe %1 You could make .pyw work on WinCE by creating a key HKCR\.pyw and another like HKCR\Python.File.NoShell, with the appropriate command line. In fact I may do this in the next version of the PythonCE installer. There are several ways to edit the registry. I've used two: 1. Total Commander, a free file manager for WinCE that includes a registry editor 2. Remote Registry Editor from MS eMbedded Visual C++ I've also used this command line console: http://www.symbolictools.de/public/pocketconsole/ Luke - Original Message - From: Jeffrey Barish [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: pythonce@python.org Sent: Thursday, March 02, 2006 10:35 AM Subject: [PythonCE] Running Python program without getting Python CE window - Original Message - From: Jeffrey Barish [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: pythonce@python.org Sent: Friday, February 24, 2006 11:08 AM Subject: [PythonCE] Running Python program without getting Python CE window Whenever I run a Python application, I get a window titled Python CE that seems to capture stdout. Is it called the console? I would like to run my application without getting that window. I had the impression that this window would not appear if I ran the application using pythonw. To that end, I changed the first line of my application to #! /usr/bin/env pythonw (instead of /usr/bin/env/python). Changing this line has no effect in either CE or XP. What is the correct procedure? As somebody else mentioned, that is a Unix-specific feature. In Windows XP you can rename the file to .pyw to run it automatically with pythonw.exe. On Windows CE there is no standard way but this might help: python /nopcceshell program.py Luke Forgive my continued ignorance. Changing the extension works fine in XP to suppress the console window, but I don't understand how to enter the command you suggested in CE. Did you find a console for CE that permits you to type in commands? Does CE come with one (that I have been unable to locate)? I also posted a related question last week, but I never saw my message in the digest (which happens frequently). I am also wondering what the procedure is for attaching an icon to my application so that I can run the application by tapping the icon? And, to be precise, what I would like is to run my Python program in such a way that the console window does not appear. Perhaps tapping the icon would run the command that you suggested above. -- Jeffrey Barish ___ PythonCE mailing list PythonCE@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonce ___ PythonCE mailing list PythonCE@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonce

Lol! I've been using/tinkering with firedrop for a few weeks now so I am
vaguely familier with wax. I don't really like the idea of using a largish
wrapper over the top of a huge library though, especially on a small embedded
device! Also wax is incomplete, and as I've said I don't know enough Wx to
fix/add stuff.
BTW in Firedrop my page template was failing because the editor I was using
inserted tabs instead of spaces. I didn't really feel like fixing my
template so I poked around in embedded_code.py. If you add .replace('\t','
') to the return statement in replace_separators tabs vs. spaces becomes a
non-issue ^_^

Hope you don't mind, attached is my hacked version of setup-registry.py which
registers .pyw, and adds the PythonCE icon to all Python files! It can
also be found here:

It would be nice if there were good win32ui docs/tutorials/guides. It seems to wrap a lot of stuff, but I have next to zero knowledge concerning windows ui programming and the wrapping looks pretty raw! ___ PythonCE mailing list PythonCE@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonce
