New submission from Florian : When creating a wininst, get_script_header alwasy sets the executabe to "python.exe". Thus, in get_script_args() the code to check if the header should actually be changed should be updated to: if os.path.exists(new_header[2:-1]) or wininst or sys.platform!='win32': hdr = new_header else: hdr = header ---------- messages: 630 nosy: flocki priority: bug status: unread title: Shebang for gui_scripts on Windows is not changed to pythonw _______________________________________________ Setuptools tracker http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue131 _______________________________________________
