Re: Command line arguments on Vista

[jmike]

By the way, note that if I say (on Vista)

python printargs.py booga -a wooga

I get the desired output:

>  there are 4 args
>  arg: printargs.py
>  arg: booga
>  arg: -a
>  arg: wooga

So the quesiton still stands, what's up with that?

Thanks,

Some further information: perl seems to do the same thing (losing
arguments).
We think it may have something to do with file association.

Any ideas anyone?

It sounds like the registry entry for running Python files is messed up. 
Can you go to a command line and see what the command 'ftype Python.File' 
displays? (Assuming that command lines and ftype still work on Vista)

The output should be:
Python.File="C:\Python25\python.exe" "%1" %*

but if it only says:
Python.File="C:\Python25\python.exe" "%1"

then you would get the behaviour you observed (on any version of Windows, 
not just Vista).

That would happen if the association was not made by the Python installer, 
but by the user selecting Python.exe the first time he tried to execute a 
Python script by double-clicking on it.

Thanks for the answers; that was the problem exactly.
