Category: Installation Group: Platform-specific >Status: Pending >Resolution: Works For Me Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Viktor Ferenczi (complex) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Win32 installer should add python's directory to system path Initial Comment: Win32 installer should add python's base directory to the system path to allow executing Python.exe anywhere. If you use an editor like SciTE a hotkey (F5) will start your script with a command line like: pythonw.exe your_script.py The system path must be set correctly to allow this command. This setting must be done on each machine with python installed. In a while classroom with 30 machines it can be very cumbersome. An installation option would be useful in most cases, especially with "yes" default. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Date: 2007-03-28 13:54 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 Originator: NO complex, can you confirm that the problem is fixed? The script should be started with simply "your_script.py", which, in turn, should invoke the shell's mechanisms to find Python by extension. Prefixing with pythonw.exe should not be necessary. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Kent Johnson (kjohnson) Date: 2005-10-20 17:53 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=49695 IIRC this worked in Python 2.3 and was broken in 2.4 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=894599&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
