pythonw.exe doesn't work

Another windows problem. Python scripts won't run on my system
(when I do the double-click scenario). I'm using Python 1.5.2 on
win95b. The .py and .pyw extension is associated with pythonw.exe, but
they don't appear to work. Also, double-clicking pythonw.exe doesn't
accomplish anyhting. Any clues, hints?

The association of Pythonw.exe with the .py extension is wrong.
Pythonw is a Python without a console, so it most probably
does what it should do: execute a script and vanish.

You should change the .py association back to python.exe .
Pythonw is there for running COM server processes, applications
which create their own windows, and so on.
