I never type anything in the Run dialog other than Regedit, or CMD. I dont want that to sound defensive, but usually when I need a CMD prompt, I'm need to be there for a long time, and that's why I open it. It never even occurred to me to type Python at the Run prompt. Most of the time, I open a cmd prompt IN the directory where I want to run a script, by using "Command Prompt Here", from Microsoft. (why isn't this built into the OS after all this time ??????????) But while troubleshooting this problem, I've not been using it, and have been CD'ing down to where my sources are. > Its the second algorithm that is used if you type > python foo.py at a cmd prompt but the first that > is used if you double click foo.py within explorer I typically dont double click my scripts, unless they are guis, or exes' > That *shouldn't* make any difference...but you can never be 100% sure! I think a this point, I'll just re-install 2.3 and 2.5 to see if that fixes it, with a reboot in-between. I dont know what else to do. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
