Darn. Okay, so another extension *is* needed if you want to be able to make non-console apps runnable-but-not-importable. IIUC it should by '.pywa' rather than '.pya', though, because of the issue with only the first three characters of an extension working in PowerShell, which means it would be executed by the wrong PyLauncher under some circumstances. (Honestly, though, I'm not sure whether anybody cares about PATH/PATHEXT in relation to GUI apps; ISTM they'd mostly be invoked by shortcuts, and there's also a registry mechanism that's supposed to be used for these things nowadays, rather than PATH... but I think it only works for .exe's, so there we go again back to the land of .exe's just plain Work Better On Windows.) _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
