Marcus, When you type something from the command-line, you are at the whims of the WinXP command shell. You have to follow its rules, not Python's. It would need to have "python" in %PATH%, and then it would need to have to run "python C:\path\to\pyroot\utils\commands\mygrep.py". The arguments are determined before Python is even started, and they are parsed by the WinXP DOS-a-like shell. (Also why you cannot have ".", only Python understands dots).
Kent mentioned issues with importing modules, and those would still hold true since those are after Python starts. Also, the WinXP shell, does handle forward slashs, but you were probably not in the proper directory for the shell to find the file using "utils/commands/mygrep.py" pathname.

I tried this on my WinXP box-- didn't work nor with backslashing). I checked my environment variables in my shell, and PYTHONPATH points to ~pyroot. Am I missing something? Could this be a 'nix thing? Marcus _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
