In the Windows environment a program ordinarily has to be something.py or something.pyw to be recognised as a Python program, whereas in Unix/Linux the interpreter is often identified by the "shebang" line (#!/usr/bin/python, or whatever). Get back to the list if none of hte FAQ advice helps. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +44 150 684 7255 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC www.holdenweb.com PyCon TX 2006 www.pycon.org ___ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32

Hello Roger, Assuming your Python installation is viable (does typing "python" sans quotes at the command line launch the Python interpreter?), have you renamed the file from "rtf2xml" to "rtf2xml.py" as required to run under MS Windows? -- jv Hello Windows XP SP2. I am a Python novice. I downloaded an application called rtf2xml that converts RTF files to XML. I have Python 2.4 installed, and updated my path to include c:\python24. The application has the following folder structure: rtf2xml-1.2 (contains setup.py, which I have installed using the python setup.py install command) rtf2xml (contains a bunch of .py files) scripts (contains rtf2xml.py and a test file called hello_world.rtf) The documentation says that I should be in the command prompt window and simply type: rtf2xml hello_world.rtf I've tried this but I get various errors, such as: rtf2xml is not recognized as an internal or external command... python: can't open file...[errno 13] permission denied Please can someone tell me (i) what directory I have to be in, and (ii) what the command line should be?

[python-win32] Running a script
Hello Windows XP SP2. I am a Python novice. I downloaded an application called rtf2xml that converts RTF files to XML. I have Python 2.4 installed, and updated my path to include c:\python24. The application has the following folder structure: rtf2xml-1.2 (contains setup.py, which I have installed using the python setup.py install command) rtf2xml (contains a bunch of .py files) scripts (contains rtf2xml.py and a test file called hello_world.rtf) The documentation says that I should be in the command prompt window and simply type: rtf2xml hello_world.rtf I've tried this but I get various errors, such as: rtf2xml is not recognized as an internal or external command... python: can't open file...[errno 13] permission denied Please can someone tell me (i) what directory I have to be in, and (ii) what the command line should be? I tried from various folders, with and without "python" in front, but nothing works.
