The normal .py association on Windows is done with a couple of registry values:
1. Create a key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.py 2. Set the default value of this key to: Python.File 3. Create a key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Python.File\shell\open\command 4. Set the default value to: "C:\Python24\python.exe" "%1" %* Windows CE is the same but the command might be: "\Program Files\PythonCE\python.exe" "%1" You could make .pyw work on WinCE by creating a key HKCR\.pyw and another like HKCR\Python.File.NoShell, with the appropriate command line. In fact I may do this in the next version of the PythonCE installer. There are several ways to edit the registry. I've used two: 1. Total Commander, a free file manager for WinCE that includes a registry editor 2. Remote Registry Editor from MS eMbedded Visual C++ I've also used this command line console: http://www.symbolictools.de/public/pocketconsole/ Luke ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeffrey Barish" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <pythonce@python.org> Sent: Thursday, March 02, 2006 10:35 AM Subject: [PythonCE] Running Python program without getting Python CE window ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeffrey Barish" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <pythonce@python.org> Sent: Friday, February 24, 2006 11:08 AM Subject: [PythonCE] Running Python program without getting Python CE window > > Whenever I run a Python application, I get a window titled "Python CE" that > > seems to capture stdout.

Changing the extension works fine in XP to suppress the console window, but I don't understand how to enter the command you suggested in CE. Did you find a console for CE that permits you to type in commands? Does CE come with one (that I have been unable to locate)? I also posted a related question last week, but I never saw my message in the digest (which happens frequently). I am also wondering what the procedure is for attaching an icon to my application so that I can run the application by tapping the icon? And, to be precise, what I would like is to run my Python program in such a way that the console window does not appear. Perhaps tapping the icon would run the command that you suggested above. -- Jeffrey Barish _______________________________________________ PythonCE mailing list PythonCE@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonce _______________________________________________ PythonCE mailing list PythonCE@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonce
