Hmm, have you actually tried executing that?

I'm no fan of shell scripting and tend to avoid it, so perhaps I'm missing
something, but your modification of my little script doesn't appear to
work (tst.py just prints out sys.argv).

Your script:

$ //c/Python20/Local/tst.py

['c:\\Python20\\Local\\tst.py', '//c/Python20/Local/tst.py']

$ //c/Python20/Local/tst.py foo bar

['c:\\Python20\\Local\\tst.py', '//c/Python20/Local/tst.py', 'foo', 'bar']


My script:

$ //c/Python20/Local/tst.py

['c:\\Python20\\Local\\tst.py']

$ //c/Python20/Local/tst.py foo bar

['c:\\Python20\\Local\\tst.py', 'foo', 'bar']



tst.py looks like this:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys

print sys.argv


(did that test just as my laptop's batteries were going flat, so apologies
for any typos)
