Sgnificant step further now! Placing the manifest file in with the compiled
executable with correct name worked. I haven't tried compiling insid the
exe,
but I will be doing so.
Now, I never use cmd.exe so I've tried right-clicking and selecting run with
python.exe. For the simple example I posted in the original post, it
worked,
but for anything slightly more involved, it says "This application has
failed
to start because pywintypes24.dll was not found. Re-installing the
application may fix this problem.". Now i've looked in python24 directory
and
it does have pywintypes24.dll there.
It normally runs ok through cygwin, albeit with the old style buttons. Am I
missing an environment variable for cmd.exe and i's an unrelated issue or
could the two issues be linked? Any ideas on how to get the native widgets
when running through cygwin bash as i've found this to be a rather
convenient,
productive design method.
Thanks
Craig
I've now just launchd the same scripts in cygwin and it's working! I hadn't
changed any files, the only difference is what I did posted above. I'm blown
if I know what has fixed it, but it has!
Thanks for all your help, although i'm always a little nervous when things
suddenly start to work after not materially changing anything!
Many Thanks
Craig
