Of course it exists on Windows. argc/argv are defined by the C standard, and say what you will about Windows, but it has a conforming implementation. argv exists on Windows exactly the way the C standard requires it - as an array of null terminated "strings". It's left as an exercise to people with more time than I to argue about the definition of the term 'string' in the C standard (since the standard itself is silent on the issue). For what it's worth, the *Python* documentation does NOT guarantee that the items in sys.argv will be strings. -- Nick _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
