If the command was executed using the -c command line option to the interpreter, argv[0] is set to the string '-c'. If no script name was passed to the Python interpreter, argv has zero length. The last line, "If no script name was passed to the Python interpreter, argv has zero length." does not appear to be correct, the length of argv is 1 and argv[0] is '': [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ python2.5 Python 2.5 (release25-maint, Dec 9 2006, 14:35:53) [GCC 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-20)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys >>> len(sys.argv) 1 >>> sys.argv[0] '' >>> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1705717&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
