Has anyone had a change to look at this? Thanks! Alex On Dec 7, 2007 3:15 PM, Alexander Michael <lxander.m@gmail.com> wrote:

When trying to run a gui_script on WinXP I get the error:

Could not exec #!c:\Python24\pythonw.exe".

It looks like the shebang hasn't been stripped. In

http://svn.python.org/projects/sandbox/trunk/setuptools/launcher.c

(currently at r59407) should

if (is_gui) { /* Use exec, we don't need to wait for the GUI to finish */ execv(python, (const char * const *)(newargs)); return fail("Could not exec %s", python); /* shouldn't get here! */ }

read something like:

if (is_gui) { /* Use exec, we don't need to wait for the GUI to finish */ execv(ptr, (const char * const *)(newargs)); return fail("Could not exec %s", ptr); /* shouldn't get here! */ }

as in

/* We *do* need to wait for a CLI to finish, so use spawn */ return spawnv(P_WAIT, ptr, (const char * const *)(newargs));

so that the "#!" is stripped from the executable?

Thanks, Alex
