[Pythonmac-SIG] How can I include command line arguments in bundled apps?

[Peter Steiner]

Hello

I wish to tweak IDLE.app from MacPython 2.3 for Panther addons to call  
IDLE with the -Qnew switch.

According to Gregor Lingl in  
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/edu-sig/2003-September/003150.html the  
-Qnew switch alone is not enough; -n is needed too.

I tried editing IDLE.app/Contents/MacOS/IDLE adding the switches with

sys.argv.insert(1, "-n")
sys.argv.insert(0, "-Qnew")

just after

sys.argv.insert(1, mainprogram)

but then the bundle wouldn't start anymore.

It works however if I start IDLE from the terminal:

$ pythonw -Qnew  
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/ 
idlelib/idle.py -n

Is it possible to achieve this with a bundle?

Regards, Peter
