Python lock down

[frankec2000]

Sorry if this has been asked before, I've got some laptops locked down so they only run only specified windows applications. This is fine but a teacher requires python but not python.exe but the idle.pyw so they can run the "IDLE Shell" version. Has anyone got any pointers for me regarding this. Much appreciated.

IIRC pyw files will rely on pythonw.exe being able to run. I suppose you could block python.exe but allow pythonw.exe. Can't speak to how open to abuse that would leave things, though.

Yeah, pythonw.exe is for graphical programs, python.exe for console

Thank you I've put pythonw.exe in run only specified windows applications now the pyw file runs as requested. Thank you.
