Just double-clicking on the file will run it. The problem is that it will open a command shell, run, and then close the command shell UNLESS one explicitly codes some sort of "hold" at the end of the program jnk = input("Press return to exit") .pyw extension does not open the command shell -- but is meant for programs that use one of the various GUI frameworks, which is probably more than the new-comer is ready to attack. -- Wulfraed Dennis Lee Bieber AF6VN wlfr...@ix.netcom.com http://wlfraed.microdiversity.freeddns.org/ -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
