Win32 : Making script.py executable in DOS box

[Olivier Dagenais]

How about a batch file called p.bat ?  (with optional status messages)

-----start p.bat--------
@echo off
echo Starting script '%1.py' ....
c:\progra~1\Python\python "%1.py" %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
echo Execution complete!
----end p.bat-----------


Given you have a script called "spam.py":

-----start spam.py------
print "Spam spam spam spam"
-----end spam.py--------


Then, you would type:

c:\work\python\stuff>p spam
Starting script 'spam.py' ...
Spam spam spam spam
Execution complete!


Is that what you wanted??
