Well this is what I do not want to do. I want to have the script in some folder /source/myscript.py but run it on data in e.g. /path/to/data/ like I would do on the commandline with $ cd /path/to/data $ pypthon /source/myscript.py local-file.dat Cheers, Thomas -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
