You don't have to change it all to Python, you just need to refactor it a bit. Instead of embeding Python from C, you embed C from Python. Of course, it's better to prefer Python code because there will be less of it, it's not always a good idea to just throw all the old code away.

It is true that I can write pure python code and use py2app (I use py2exe on windows) to make an executable. That will make life easy. But .. I think that I need to do something as you said, try to change all C code to python, it may be easier than that I embeded python to C. Thanks all . Zhi On Dec 13, 2005, at 12:18 PM, Zhi Peng wrote:

pythonw is just a shell script. You're embedding Python, it's not even an option. You must use an application bundle in order to communicate with WindowServer.
You probably shouldn't be embedding Python in the first place.. Much easier that way, because py2app can create the application bundle for you, and you don't have to deal with all of the initialization/ finalization for Python.
