I'm having trouble getting command line arguments passed to Python programs if I try to execute them directly as executable commands from a Windows command shell. For example, if I have this program (test.py):
import sys
print "Args: %r" % sys.argv[1:]
And execute:
>test foo
Args: []
as compared to:
>python test.py foo
Args: ['foo']
My configuration has:
PATH=...;C:\python25;...
PATHEXT=...;.PY;....
>assoc .py
.py=Python.File
>ftype | grep Python
Python.CompiledFile="C:\Python25\python.exe" "%1" %*
Python.File="C:\Python25\python.exe" "%1" %*
Python.NoConFile="C:\Python25\pythonw.exe" "%1" %*
