Yes, I use both Wndows XP and Linux( at work ) . I left that in by mistake I am actually just typing in
arg1,py a b c
at the windows XP command prompt
Sorry for the confusion.

Are you using XP still? I've never seen this before -
./arg1.py a b c
But anyhoo, I tried out just 'c:\python23\foo.py'
as opposed to 'c:\python23\python foo.py' and
while foo.py will run, it doesn't echo to the console, as on my
machine running a .py file runs it through pythonw.exe - I'd check it
out for your machine, it's probably the same. You'd need to change the
association to python.exe, but that would mean that you always got a
DOS box for every Python script you ran, which is annoying with GUIs.
Erm, if you don't want to type in python each time, either change the association or create a batch file called x or a or something that runs Python and stick it in a directory that's in your PATH system variable. Only problem with that is passing command line variables....
...might just be better to type python....
Good Luck,

Hi,
No What I get if I was to type in ./arg1.py a b c
All I get is []
If i type at the command prompt
python arg1.py a b c
I get ['a','b','c'] as expected
All the other programs and examples I have typed in work fine just by typing in the file name, I don't have to preced the file name with python, only this example. I hope this makes it clearer

Richard,
if you try to print sys.argv[1:] when sys.argv only contain sys.argv[0] then you are bound to get an empty list returned, [] .
Im not sure I understand the problem you think you've got but here's what happens with sys.argv for me, and it's correct.
[argl.py]
$ cat argl.py #!/usr/bin/python
import sys print sys.argv[1:]
./argl.py []
./argl.py a b c ['a', 'b', 'c']
Is that what your getting ?
Sorry for the late response, I tried all of the the suggestions, including correcting my typo of print sys[1:] and tried print sys,argv[1:], this does now work as long as I run 'python test.py fred joe' it returns all the arguments. If I try just test.py all I get is '[]' . Is there something wrong with my environmental variables in Windows XP, I would like to be able to just use the file name rather than having to type python each time. Any help would be gratefully received.
