Let me clarify that just a bit. There are several ways to run Python scripts from a Windows command line. You can invoke the interpreter specifically by name: C:\Apps\Python27\python xxx.py C:\Apps\Python27\python xxx.pyw Or, if the Python directory is in your path: python xxx.py python xxx.pyw If the .py and .pyw extension are registered using assoc and ftype (which the Windows installer does), then you can invoke them by file name: xxx.py xxx.pyw If you add those extensions to PATHEXT, then you do not even need to provide the extension, so they will look just like any other automatically executable program: xxx -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
