Hi PP,
The sparky-no-python.exe executable in the sparky/bin directory is not
intended to be run directly. It is necessary to set some variables before
running it as is done in the sparky.bat script.
To run Sparky without Python change the sparky.bat line
set PYTHON=%SPARKY_INSTALL%python2.4python.exe
to
set PYTHON=%SPARKY_INSTALL%python2.4python.exeXXX
so that Python will not be found. Then run sparky.bat to start Sparky
as usual. There is rarely a reason to do this. Sparky comes with Python
and I have never seen a case where Sparky with Python did not work or
worked poorly relative to Sparky without Python.
