[python-win32] running a python script on WinXP by icon double-clicking.

[Vineet Deodhar]

Hi Kevin,
I checked "Opens with" option for .py and .pyw files.
Associations are correct.

This problem happens for any python script file, not just this-one.
Do I really need to remove & reinstall py26, or can there any other option !

First check that .py or .pyw files are associated with the proper executables.

from an explorer window, choose Tools -> Folder Options
then click on the file types tab

find the PY and PYW entries in the list, and make sure their "Opens with" entries are correct


PY -> python.exe
PY -> pythonw.exe

If those are correct, and you still have problems, then perhaps your python installation is messed up somehow,
or there's something really strange about your script.


Hope this helps,
Kevin Horn

I have created a py2.6 script for a simple GUI with Tkinter.
Saved it with .py extension and also as .pyw extension.


filename is entry.py
[CODE]
from Tkinter import *
from quitter import Quitter

def fetch():
    print('Input => "%s"' % ent.get())

root = Tk()
ent = Entry(root)
ent.show='@'

ent.insert(0, 'Type words here')
ent.pack(side=TOP, fill=X)

ent.focus()
ent.bind('<Return>', (lambda event: fetch()))
btn = Button(root, text='Fetch', command=fetch)
btn.pack(side=LEFT)

Quitter(root).pack(side=RIGHT)
root.mainloop()
[/CODE]

1) When run from command prompt as --- 
D:\py>python entry.py
it runs nicely.

2) If I double-click on either entry.py or entry.pyw file, 

nothing happens (no DOS console window to show any error also).

Any idea
 how should I run this with double-click on icon!

Thanks,
Vineet.
