Don't use cmd.split(). That just splits on whitespace without respecting how the shell tokenizes the command. Use shlex.split(cmd) instead. > So os.getcwd() == os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)) here? No, a Python script could be started from any directory, while the RHS there is specifically the directory of the script. In terms of a crusty old cmd script we're talking about the difference between %cd% and %~dp0 (where d=drive and p=path). _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
