I'm trying to compile a Windows screensaver using PyInstaller (trunk) and Python 2.6. On Windows, screensavers are simply normal executables that have a .scr file extension (and are expected to take certain command-line parameters).
Generally, Windows will run any executable no matter what extension it has, but PyInstaller built EXEs will only execute if the .exe extension is kept intact. I have noticed that py2exe doesn't have this issue, but I really don't understand how either project works under the hood. To clarify, when a PyInstaller-built executable with a non-exe file extension is run, nothing happens - no Windows error message, etc - the program just doesn't launch. Does anyone have any idea what could be going on here, and/or point me in the right direction wrt the pyinstaller code base?
