Command line arguments in Windows
I am having some problems with command line arguments in Windows. The same code under Linux works fine. In Windows I only get one argument no matter how many arguments are passed on the command line. I think there is some problem with the way the .py files are associated causing this. I'm just not sure how to go about fixing it. If I call the python script using the command "python argtest.py arg1 arg2 etc..." this also works fine. Its only when run the program using the name only that the problem occurs. Does anyone have any ideas what the problem is here and hopefully how to go about fixing it? import sys if __name__ == "__main__": for arg in sys.argv: print arg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

As I mentioned I am working from the command line, not clicking on the icon. The only difference between it working and not is the python prefix, which is why I was thinking this is some sort of file association problem. I probably wasn't as clear as I could have been in the third paragraph. argtest.py arg1 arg2 arg3 - Does not work only get sys.argv[0] python argtest.py arg1 arg2 arg3 - Works -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Would ActiveState's version be a better choice here? ~Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
