Not sure if this is what you are asking but doing the following as the very first line of the script: #!/usr/bin/env python And then adding the directory where the script is located to your path, for example in your .profile: export PATH=~/Python/scripts:$PATH Finally, make sure the script has the appropriate permissions (execute) by doing the following in a shell where you have moved to the scripts directory: chmod a+x SCRIPTNAME This (admittedly second nature to Unix geeks) straightforward setup should allow you to do the following at the shell command line: wonderland: % your_script_here.py file_to_convert will invoke your script with your_script_here.py as sys.argv[0] and file_to_convert as sys.argv[1]. -- Les Hill [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
