We need to clarify what we mean about the word "console". If you just don't want to see the Tk interface of web2py, yes, just "web2py.exe -a blah" is all you need. But what I mean is to even hide the so-called "black dos window". The above way is not enough for this purpose. That is why I have to use py2exe to rebuild web2py.exe, with some trick mentioned in my old post here: http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/msg/1f0f89ccbc137490 I can provide my web2py_without_console.exe for your test, if you still do not understand what I mean. Anyway, if Weheh can get web2py_win.zip work as a service, it is a great breakthrough! Can't wait to see the how-to! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py Web Framework" group.
