Command Line arguments

[michael]

I have a question about Windows based python (2.4 and later).

For example, if I make a script called test.py like so:

import sys
print sys.argv

then run it:

python test.py this is a test

I see a list with 

['test.py', 'this', 'is', 'a', 'test']


All is good!

BUT...

If i make .py extensions be run as exes (by setting the .py extension to
be executable with PATHEXT setting in environment variables, the Python
program will run, but NO arguments are passed!

For example, after setting .py extension to be executable, i get this:

test this is a test

I get ['test.py]. NO arguments are passed. 

NOTE: This can NOT be blamed on Windows in my mind because Python2.2 and
earlier works FINE.

Any one have an idea?

Thank you!
