Hi,
I am reading ' Learning Python second edition' by Mark Lutz and David Ascher, and I trying the code examples as I go along. However I am having a problem with the following, which I don't seem to be able to resolve :-
# test.py import sys
print sys[ 1: ]
This I believe is supposed to print the 1st argument passed to the program. However if I try
test.py fred
All I get at the command line is
[]
If I try :-
python test.py fred
I get
['fred']
as I believe you are supposed to. I can run other examples,I have typed in by just using the file name, but not this particular example. Could anyone shine any light on what I am missing or have not configured correctly. I am runnung Python 2.4 on a windows XP box.
Thanks a lot
