Ok, I modify HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\command to do this: cmd /C "SET PYTHONHOME=\\servername\NETLOGON\Python24&&\\servername \netlogon\python24\python.exe \\path\to\my\script\wxsendmail.py %1" > > > it > > doesn't work at all if I turn my python file into an exe using py2exe. > > "it doesn't work" is user-speak.

Of course, I don't really know that for sure as the executable doesn't redirect stdout/stderr. I tried doing something like this in the above reg entry: cmd /C "c:\program files\myProg.exe %1" "c:\program files\myProg.exe %1" "c:\program files\myProg.exe" None of those worked. > > > > How does one get a python file to accept arguments when said script > > has been turned into an executable? > > If the script is expecting its arguments in sys.argv, I would expect > that to work with an executable also.

I do have my script set up to find its arguments in sys.argv. And no, I don't have that print screen. As mentioned above, I don't have a console window open when the exe runs, so I won't see any output from it. I'll have to modify it to do that when I'm back at my work PC. > > 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?
