[New-bugs-announce] [issue7936] sys.argv contains only scriptname

[JT Johnson]

New submission from JT Johnson <svedgeburn at gmail.com>:

I am running Python 2.6.4 on Windows Vista and when I try to get any command line arguments via sys.argv, it only contains sys.argv[0], but nothing else. Even if I supply several parameters. The only third-parts modules I am using are Pygame, but even before Pygame imports, there is nothing in sys.argv. I've tried creating a shortcut with the args in it, but it still doesn't work.
Note that I also have a couple other Python versions installed (2.5, 2.7a, and 3.1) maybe somehow they are conflicting?
