Dear Python developers, I use a short python script in order to run an external application plus to open a browser displaying a default page.
My Setup: Python 2.4.3. / Windows2000 # ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # Script "shortcut.py" import os import webbrowser import win32api # open default web browser and display webbpage page = 'C:\\Temp\\Welcome.html' webbrowser.open(page) # path to application that is opened path = "C:\\Program Files\\ExternalApplication.exe" # get short name shortpath = win32api.GetShortPathName(path) # open external application stdin, stdout, stderr = os.popen3(shortpath) output = stdout.read() errors = stderr.read() stdin.close() stdout.close() stderr.close() print output print errors # ---------------------------------------------------------------------- In order to make this Script available on other Windows2000 machines where no Python installation is present, I made this script executable using "py2exe" (http://www.py2exe.org/). This creates a "shortcut.exe" file. If I run "shortcut.exe" everything works fine but a black empty cmd window opens and its kept open until I close the application "ExternalApplication.exe". How can I close that black empty window automatically? Thanks in advance, Nico -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
