No, I've not come out of hiding just yet (still far too busy with Ambulant to do any Python work), but I came across TransformProcessType just tonight, so I did a quick experiment and it seems to work.
What it does is turn any process into a full-fledged windowing application, with a dock icon, the possibility of a menu bar, etc. So this may be the way to get rid of "pythonw". I quickly added a method MacOS.SetWMAvailable(), and it seems good enough for running the IDE with "python" in stead of "pythonw". The icon is ugly (a terminal- style script), and the application menu title is "python" in stead of whatever script you're running, but that can all be fixed. Did anyone else have a look at this call? Is it worth it to invest some time into it? If it is I'll check it in and people who build Python from CVS can play around with it. Please reply also to me personally, I still have 847 pythonmac-sig mails waiting for me so if you reply only to the list it'll be a long time before I see it... -- Jack Jansen, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.cwi.nl/~jack If I can't dance I don't want to be part of your revolution -- Emma Goldman _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
