I'll assume that you are not familiar with Windows, so forgive me if you know this.
1) Go to a command prompt. The location of this depends on which OS you are running. But, you can go to Start / Run... and type in cmd or command. This will give you a window with a 'DOS' prompt. 2) Type path=path;c:\python24\ c:\python24\ is where I have python installed. I won't get into how to make this permanent. 3) type python and you have the command line shell you know and love. If this does not work for you, let me know.

I want to be able to type "python myscript myarg" somewhere. Is there anything out there to help me? My main concern is playing with the myarg in the sys.argv list. I've been mucking around with IDLE without much success. ___________________________________________________________________ The information contained in this message and any attachment may be proprietary, confidential, and privileged or subject to the work product doctrine and thus protected from disclosure.
