And given the diverse range of what Python considers to be an executable script these days, -1000 to that particular feature. Use `which scriptname`, that's what it's for. The lack of such functionality in the underpowered cmd shell on Windows isn't Python's problem to solve - ask MS for a better shell and command line utilities (assuming Powershell doesn't already offer something comparable to 'which'). There are reasons I only code specifically for Windows if someone pays me to do so :P 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
