The entry point of a Windows application is WinMain, not main; you can create a console-only standard C application if you'd like, but its not a Windows program. Python apps are Windows programs even if they have a console attached. And the WinMain function passes the entire command line as a single char* with no breaking or parsing of any kind. --S
