I'd like to be able to drag a file onto a Python script in Windows Explorer, or send that file to the script via the Send To context-menu option, so I can then process that file via sys.argc.
Unfortunately, I can't drag items onto the Python script, because Windows doesn't recognise that the script is executable (unless I double-click it, upon which it runs as usual, without the command line parameter of course) and won't set it as a drop target. And it won't even appear in the Send To menu after the usual steps are taken to get it there. I then tried to wrap it in a batch file, but encounter a problem, where that batch file is able to execute the Python file if I double-click the batch file, but if I drag a file onto it it says it can no longer find the Python script. Are there any simple and workable solutions for this sort of thing? -- Ben Sizer -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
