Using command line args on Windows

[Michael.Coll-Barth at VerizonWireless.com]

I'll assume that you are not familiar with Windows, so forgive me if you
know this.

1) Go to a command prompt.  

The location of this depends on which OS you are running.  But, you can go
to Start / Run... and type in cmd or command.  This will give you a window
with a 'DOS' prompt.

2) Type path=path;c:\python24\ 
c:\python24\ is where I have python installed.  I won't get into how to make
this permanent.

3) type python and you have the command line shell you know and love.


If this does not work for you, let me know.

Michael

Subject: Using command line args on Windows


Hello-

I'm stuck on a Windows machine today and would love to fully play with
and test a simple python script.  I want to be able to type "python
myscript myarg" somewhere.  Is there anything out there to help me?  My
main concern is playing with the myarg in the sys.argv list.  I've been
mucking around with IDLE without much success.
