By "run the file from Windows Explorer", do you mean you double-click on the icon? > I'm sure the answer is very simple ! > > ( http://www.nabble.com/file/6954/playFile.py playFile.py ): > > from win32com.client import Dispatch > > if __name__ == "__main__": > mp = Dispatch("WMPlayer.OCX") > tune = mp.newMedia('my_file.mp3') > mp.currentPlaylist.appendItem(tune) > mp.controls.play() > raw_input("Press Enter to stop playing") > mp.controls.stop() My guess is that you aren't in the same directory, so that "my_file.mp3" is not found. Explorer might be setting the starting directory to the directory that contains python.exe (since that's what it is really executing) instead of the directory with your script. You might try providing the full path to the file, instead of just a relative path. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
