I've only used the Python.org binary installation for a long time, and it does set up the path on installation. I don't think it adds the PATHEXT, but I really don't remember; I've had some version on my computer since Python 1.5.2. Without that, though, all you'd need would be to type > python test.py ... given the other assumptions you've indicated. Oh, if you are running the python program (located in a directory not in your path) from some other directory, you'd need to specify the full pathname, I suppose, like > python c:\dir\test.py I'd assume that ActiveState also sets the path up, but again, I can't say for sure that it does. If it doesn't, then you'd add the Python root directory to your path or else you'd have to specify *that* each time as well. -- rzed -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
