I've seen that with perl - parameter -S means search
script on path. Very helpful.

(1)

(HKCU|HKLM)\Software\Classes\Python.File\open\command

really is

(HKCU|HKLM)\Software\Classes\Python.File\shell\open\command

(2)

with python 24 a new behaviour occurs: i try to execute the
script on the commandline, but a dialog boy appears with:

the file "[...correct complete path to the script...]" could
not be found. Again, if i prepend python.exe, everything
works as expected. windows 2000 professional.

Do you mean that the registry setting is ok, but the
parameters are not passed correctly?

I checked the registry. It's ok. It's windows 2000.

That (arguments not passed to the script) was a bug in some
versions of the Windows installer. Please verify that the
registry, at
(HKCU|HKLM)\Software\Classes\Python.File\open\command has
the value '[path]python.exe "%1" %*'. The %* part should
arrange for arguments being passed.

It works - but command line args are not given to the called
script. If i prepend python.exe, command line args are
transferred correctly.

On windows, you should be able to just invoke the_script.py
(i.e. without a preceding python.exe). Does this not work
for you?

I don't know... if the script is in the PATH, isn't it
normally executable too?
