Currently, on windows, pythonw.exe should be used according to the code in /src/extension/implementation/script.cpp. However, build.xml only copies python.exe to the dist dir. The strange thing is: Inkscape needs python.exe, and does not want pythonw.exe. Something wrong with the #ifdef in script.cpp? It would be nice to fix this, because it removes the DOS popup when running an effect (nice for live preview).

Agreed, we should be using pythonw.exe now that we have Ted's live preview.

I was digging into the exact same issue ...

... and then there should be a modification like below. Otherwise it builds a path like \inkscape\pythonw\pythonw.exe :-O

I strongly believe that Inkscape currently only works if there is a local python installed. :-?
