I simplied the my code for posting. In my real program, the thing being passed is not a command line argument per se, but the result of signifigant processing dependent on the command line argument. I do not want to repeat that processing in the wx.App method. Would you elaborate on the other ways? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
