I've just installed Python on my Windows 7 PC, to be able to run CouchPotato from the source, for easier updating etc..
A thing that annoys me a little with Python for windows is, that it opens an console window, which - when closed - also kills the CouchPotato service..
Now, the simple solution to avoid this console window is to rename CouchPotato.py to CouchPotato.pyw - no problemo - but will this then mess with the updating mechanisms? If so, is it too much to ask for an *.pyw-version, or just a simple wrapper, for windows users? Would be much appreciated!
