Perhaps argv emulation isn't the only way to support this. Does
tkInter on the Mac Support the Mac-specific events? For example,
wxPython has mac-specific events you can catch for files dropped on
the app, or selected at startup -- so argv emulation isn't required.
Maybe Tk doesn't have those, but it's worth a look.

I agree -- though I suppose it could be interfering with the TK code
to handle it -- so maybe it does exist.

good luck,
