Thanks for your reply, Tim. Regarding your earlier question about me not using cmd when doing "./myFile.py", that was true - I was using PowerShell. And I learned something about your explanation regarding PATHEXT. Turns out I won't need that in the forseeable future, as all I want to do is execute .py files in the CURRENT directory, WITHOUT taking away the ".py" extension. I guess that has something to say about trying random solutions one sees online without actually finding out what they do =^D -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-to-make-python-scripts-output-to-current-cmd-window--%28like-linux-terminal%29-tp20528072p20547776.html Sent from the Python - python-win32 mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
