Ugggh. retraction here. I can indeed call python.exe from my storage card using the long path convention. What I meant to say is that I haven't yet figured out how to execute a script sitting on my storage card. Thank you for pointing it out that executables do indeed work with the full path statement. Unfortunately for me, the whole point of this whole sordid exercise is to get the script to run..
That old gotcha about the lack of a true console and commands such as "raw_input" or "input" not being supported within the pythonce port has reared its ugly head again. And as you once wrote on this site, this is probably why commands such as "python.exe -i" or the -m or -c option don't work. Still there is hope that this "exercise" might yet work. I found a little utility that will start python.exe and then when I pass along the name of the python script that I wish to run, it runs that script. Its a binary that installs on the pda. http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/samples/Run_arm.exe run_arm.exe So if the author figured out how to do that with his proggie, then I most assuredly should be able to do it within Vim. Apart from having the desire to have the commands "raw_input" and "python.exe -i {script}" working, I would love to have my pocket Vim compiled with the python option. In that way, I could write my Vim macros in python! Alas I know jack about how to get visual studio to compile anything. I still have eVC3 which I used to use for little Visual Basic proggies on my HPC 2000 but that was way back when I was a Microsoft bigot. Since all of my programming efforts are simply part time and personal, today, if it doesn't say Open Source with the word "Python" along side of it, I ain't very interested. Anyways, the pocket Vim exercise looks mucho promising. Now if I could just get pysqlite with sqlite3 and wxpythonce and bwidgets to "bleepin" work...
