dos box appears when clicking .pyc

[Philippe C. Martin]

Hi,


For a few months now, I have been used .pyc script under XP without
getting the "DOS" box.

I just re-installed the scripts on another XP box and am now getting the
DOS box !

Something to do with the registry ?

Regards,

Philippe

Re: dos box appears when clicking .pyc

Change the association for .pyc files to pythonw.exe
from python.exe.

This might help further (taken from a properly configured
machine):

c:\>assoc .pyc
..pyc=Python.Co mpiledFile

c:\>ftype Python.Compiled File
Python.Compiled File="C:\a\pyth on24\python.exe " "%1" %*

c:\>assoc .pyw
..pyw=Python.No ConFile

c:\>ftype Python.NoConFil e
Python.NoConFil e="C:\a\python2 4\pythonw.exe" "%1" %*


Note "pythonw" for ".pyw" files, and just "python" for
".pyc" files. If you want .pyc files NOT to open up
the DOS box, you need to change the association to
what the .pyw files use, which is not the default and
possibly will not always do what you want.

You don't usually click on .pyc scripts. You click on .py and .pyw
scripts. .pyw files will not bring up a DOS box.

If you really want .pyc files to run without a DOS box, bring up a command
shell and type

assoc .pyc=Python.NoC onFile

(Actually, you should type "assoc .pyw" to make sure that is its file
type.)
