It is strange that I can use the Cmd console to launch other programs such as
Vim.exe and hand these apps a file to open when they startup. For example,
the following works when I type "vim sample.txt" at the command prompt...
Pocket CDM v 4.20
\> vim sample.txt
This starts up Vim with the file sample.txt loaded.
I can just as easily launch pocket word in the same manner.
\> pword sample.doc
Yet when I try to launch python with a py module, it borks.
\> python sample.py
Traceback (innermost last):
<NULL>: <NULL>
If I just type python, then it launches ok.
\> python
Python 2.5 (release25-maint, Oct 11 2006 ......
>>>
There are a number of os functions not implemented within pythonce such as
os.system or os.exec or os.spawn but I fail to see why this should stop the
cmd console's shell from starting python and handing it a module as an
argument.
Any thoughts?
