<div dir="ltr">Hi guys,<div><br></div><div>I made a release of my project today, and now I see there's something wrong with it.</div><div><br></div><div>When you install it on Windows using the windows binaries (that I made with `bdist_msi` under Python 2.7), the .exe scripts in the "Scripts" folder don't work. When you launch them, nothing happens. You can launch the associated *-script.pyw files and those *do* work.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I investigated a little and possibly I figured it out. The shebang line says "#!c:\Python27\pythonw.exe". This is the interpreter with which I *created* the binaries. But why should it be the interpreter with which the *user* works? The user could have "c:\Python26\pythonw.exe" as his interpreter or "c:\Programs\Python25\pythonw.exe" or "g:\Pypy\pypy.exe" as his interpreter.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I tried editing the shebang line with notepad, and this caused the exe files to start working! (Of course this is not a real solution, I can't ask my users to do that.)</div><div><br></div><div>Is this a bug in distribute?</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'd appreciate if you can reply soon since I already started the release process and I don't want to confuse users.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Ram.<br>
</div></div>
