title: Py2exe: Are manifest files and w9xpopen.exe required when compiling a web server without GUI interface?
body: <p>I'm using Py2exe to compile a CherryPy (3.1) server using Python 2.6 (32-bit) on Windows 7 Pro (64-bit).</p>
  
  <p>This server will run without a GUI.</p>
  
  <p>Questions:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Do I need to be concerned about adding a manifest file for this application if it runs without a GUI?</p></li>
  <li><p>Do I need to include w9xpopen.exe with my exe?</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>So far, my limited testing has indicated that I don't need to include a manifest file or w9xpopen.exe with my executable in order for it to work.</p>
  
  <p>Comments appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you,
  Malcolm</p>
