Hi guys, I made a release of my project today, and now I see there's something wrong with it.
When you install it on Windows using the windows binaries (that I made with `bdist_msi` under Python 2.7), the .exe scripts in the "Scripts" folder don't work. When you launch them, nothing happens. You can launch the associated *-script.pyw files and those *do* work. I investigated a little and possibly I figured it out. The shebang line says "#!c:\Python27\pythonw.exe". This is the interpreter with which I *created* the binaries. But why should it be the interpreter with which the *user* works? The user could have "c:\Python26\pythonw.exe" as his interpreter or "c:\Programs\Python25\pythonw.exe" or "g:\Pypy\pypy.exe" as his interpreter. I tried editing the shebang line with notepad, and this caused the exe files to start working! (Of course this is not a real solution, I can't ask my users to do that.) Is this a bug in distribute? I'd appreciate if you can reply soon since I already started the release process and I don't want to confuse users. Thanks, Ram.
