It would help if you would give an actual code example of what you
mean by "convoluted path command" and "pass in the email argument to
the script".

"it doesn't work" is user-speak. What does it do? Does it execute the
executable at all? If not, check your "convoluted path". If so, what
arguments are received?

If the script is expecting its arguments in sys.argv, I would expect
that to work with an executable also. My guess is that you are falling
foul of some argument-quoting problem. I also guess that you have not
tried something like the following at the start of your script:
print >> your_log_file, "sys.argv:", repr(sys.argv)
and run it both as a script and an executable.
Have you tried running the executable stand-alone e.g. Start | Run,
type in
your_exe_file [EMAIL PROTECTED]
or whatever the argument(s) are?
HTH,
