The PEPs don't go into the process of how we actually hook the command line up to the runpy module though - that's something you need to dig into the main.c code to really understand. The command line documentation is also relevant since it defines the intended behaviour: http://docs.python.org/dev/using/cmdline.html#command-line (Drop the /dev from the URL to see the defined behaviour for 2.6) Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncogh...@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia --------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
