An alternative to manipulating PATH would be to make and add to the Start Menu a Command Prompt shortcut, call it Command Window or something, that starts in the Python directory.
That doesn't seem very satisfactory, because the user is going to want to work in the directory containing his script, or the data he wants to run the script on. A better way would be to start a command process with the Python directory added to PATH just for that process. How easy would that be to do on Windows? Do environment variables get inherited by child processes the way they do on Unix? -- Greg _______________________________________________ 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
