Setting up a new machine with Windows 10, I installed Python 3.5.0 and
the Launcher. Invoking python files from batch files as
foo.py -a -bunch -of -parameters
Didn't seem to do _anything_ so I checked:
d:\>assoc .py
.py=Python.File
d:\>ftype Python.File
Python.File="C:\Windows\py.exe" "%L" %*
Verified on my Win 10
I'm surprised by the "%L" where usually programs have "%1". Is this a
new Windows feature I don't know about yet, or is it a bug in the
installer for the Launcher?
It puzzles me tool. However, it works.
ftype /? does not enlighten me that there is a new %L feature available.
I accidentally entered just 'ftype' and since WMP11 listings are at the
end, noticed that they also use %L. I also see that WMP11 listings are
the only ones (other than Python.*) using %L. Not even other MS
listings, as for IE, do.
After entering 'ftype /?' as intended, I see that %0 and %1 are synonyms
for the first word == the file being launched. I also did not find
mention of %L. My guess is 'L' is a new term for 'Launched file'.
Steve Dower, who wrote the 3.5 intaller, would know about it as a MS
employer.
Steve, can you verify the above, and maybe tell whoever to update the
ftype help? Is there any difference (other than our puzzlement) between
using %1 and %L?
Turns out I had an empty file named foo.py and that is why it didn't do
anything, but now I'm just really puzzled about what "%L" means...
Google doesn't support searching for "%L" very well.
