Summary: python executable optionally should search script on PATH

Initial Comment:
I've seen that with perl - parameter -S means search
script on path. Very helpful.

I believe this was fixed some time ago. cconrad, if it still doesn't work
for you, please give precise instructions on how to reproduce the problem:
what exact Python version are you using (it's supposed to work for 2.4.4
and 2.5.0 atleast), what path did you install Python to what does your demo
script  look like, where is it installed, and what is the precise error
that you get when you run it.

What's the status of this?  Is it a bug report?

(1)

(HKCU|HKLM)\Software\Classes\Python.File\open\command

really is

(HKCU|HKLM)\Software\Classes\Python.File\shell\open\command

(2)

with python 24 a new behaviour occurs: i try to execute the
script on the commandline, but a dialog boy appears with:

the file "[...correct complete path to the script...]" could
not be found. Again, if i prepend python.exe, everything
works as expected. windows 2000 professional.

Do you mean that the registry setting is ok, but the
parameters are not passed correctly?

I checked the registry. It's ok. It's windows 2000.

That (arguments not passed to the script) was a bug in some
versions of the Windows installer. Please verify that the
registry, at
(HKCU|HKLM)\Software\Classes\Python.File\open\command has
the value '[path]python.exe "%1" %*'. The %* part should
arrange for arguments being passed.

It works - but command line args are not given to the called
script. If i prepend python.exe, command line args are
transferred correctly.

On windows, you should be able to just invoke the_script.py
(i.e. without a preceding python.exe). Does this not work
for you?

I don't know... if the script is in the PATH, isn't it
normally executable too?
