[python-win32] running py app by doubleclick on Win32

Thu Aug 5 15:45:17 CEST 2010

Dear all,
As you all suggested, my python installations are messed-up.
There are py2.6 and py3.1 ( py3.1 at two different locations) versions installed.

Although I have set the PYTHONPATH variable correctly to run py2.6 version, I wonder how the py3.1 takes control while running any py script!!!

In my code, I am importing Tkinter (i.e.py 2.6 syntax).
When py3.1 encounters Tkinter, it is giving exception and the program execution halts.

Anyway, I will uninstall all and reinstall py2.6
(Oh Ma! I need to reinstall all other site-packages like MySQLdb, PyQt, etc.)

Then let me again experiment again.

Thanks,

Vineet

Does it run if you type just the file name?  For example:
    D:\py>entry.py
or
    D:\py>entry.pyw

If it runs like that, then it should run from a double-click.  Do you
have multiple versions of Python installed?  Is "Quitter.py" in the same
directory as the script?  Can you check the associations from a command
line using the assoc and ftype commands, like this:

C:\tmp>assoc .py
.py=Python.File

C:\tmp>assoc .pyw
.pyw=Python.NoConFile

C:\tmp>ftype python.file
python.file="C:\Apps\Python26\python.exe" "%1" %*

C:\tmp>ftype python.noconfile
python.noconfile="C:\Apps\Python26\pythonw.exe" "%1" %*

Your path will probably be different, but the philosophy should be the same.

Hi Vineet,

Could you please post the output of the
ftype and the assoc commands?

As Tim asked in his post:

Could you try to start the script from a command prompt without the
preceding python command?

So instead of typing:
python entry.py

just type

entry.py

tell us what happens
