Bug ID: 168514
Summary: There is no pythonw.exe executable in embedded Python
distribution
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.8.1.1 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
The pythonw.exe executable is used on Windows for GUI applications. It only
differs from python.exe in that when the application runs, it doesn't create a
console window. Sometimes applications have their own startup executable, in
this case the application would fail to run.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using pip command, install some package which contains a GUI app (for
example,
"pip install spyder", provided that bug #168512 is resolved)
2. Run the app
Actual Results:
The application fails with a message saying that it's "Unable to create process
using pythonw.exe": The system cannot find the file specified.
Expected Results:
The application runs successfully.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
An easy workaround exists, consisting in copying python.exe as pythonw.exe at
the same location (venv or program folder), however an empty console window is
created when the application is run.
