I do not like the idea of having to specify the name of the app twice, it breaks DRY.
What about an additional command line flag that can tell whether to strip sys.argv or not. This will keep backwards compatibility, and also allow for scripts to have a simple sys.argv if required. web2py.py --clean-argv On this note, have you attempted to use unittest.TextTestRunner(...) without the sys.argv=sys.argv[5:] I believe that TextTestRunner should work since it shouldn't look at command line args. -Thadeus On Thu, Feb 25, 2010 at 1:37 PM, spiffytech <[email protected]> wrote: > ot know any reason as to why web2py passes along args that it is >> not using.
