Do you mean python.exe? Reread my post, or read Mark's reply to yours. The job of py.exe or pyw.exe is to examine the shebang line and then exec the appropriate python.exe > > Is there a way to make python.exe ignore all Shebang lines > in all scripts? I had many generated .py-files with: > #!g:\ProgramFiler\Python27\python.EXE That's what symlinks are for, on Unix-like systems. Somewhere I read that Windows has had them for a little while now. Those generated files should have pointed to a symlink on your system drive, rather than pointing directly to drive G: But you could always write your own py.exe, which interprets the shebang differently. Or run python.exe yourself, which as far as I know, pays no attention to shebang lines. > > After transferring my Python tree to a new Win-8.1 PC, my Python > tree was installed under "f:\ProgramFiler\" and my CD-ROM on "g:\" > > This caused those scripts to access my CD-ROM or pop-up a Win-GUI > error dialogue if no CD-ROM was in the drive.
