running a script file without the file argument

[Eric S]

Hello,

is it possible to run a script file only by clicking on the
movpy.exe ? by using the config.txt file or another mean ?

The goal is to avoid a .bat file, or a link with an absolute path.
just clicking an exe ...


Thanks,
Eric

When you double click on movpy.exe you should get a user interface
through which you can choose the file to run.

I'm not *aware* of any other techniques, but that applies equally to
*normal* python as well as movpy.

Why do you want to avoid a .bat file?

I prefer clicking on an exe, it's cleaner, more professional; I don't
like to see a cmdtool, even if it disapears immediatly

The way to turn a Python script (or program) into an exe is to use
py2exe. This is what Movable Python itself is built on.

Perhaps you could invoke movpyw.exe and exec your script within
customize.py & then exit? It would only work for a single script/copy
of movable python, of course...other than that, what Michael said.
