I'd like to be able to drag a file onto a Python script in Windows
Explorer, or send that file to the script via the Send To context-menu
option, so I can then process that file via sys.argc.
Unfortunately, I can't drag items onto the Python script, because
Windows doesn't recognise that the script is executable (unless I
double-click it, upon which it runs as usual, without the command line
parameter of course) and won't set it as a drop target. And it won't
even appear in the Send To menu after the usual steps are taken to get
it there.
I then tried to wrap it in a batch file, but encounter a problem, where
that batch file is able to execute the Python file if I double-click
the batch file, but if I drag a file onto it it says it can no longer
find the Python script.
Are there any simple and workable solutions for this sort of thing?

I didn't even know you could do that at all, but my suggestiong would
be compile the python script into an executable and try that.
If you get it working, update here as I am interested in your solution.
Hi!
I use this little batch:
@echo off
cd \dev\python
viewarg.py %*
I copy/paste the batch-file on the desktop, like icon.
Then, from Win-explorer, drag_and_drop & copy_and_paste run OK.

I think you can create a shortcut to the Python script, and then drag files on it.

Unfortunatel y, I can't drag items onto the Python script, because Windows doesn't recognise that the script is executable (unless I double-click it, upon which it runs as usual, without the command line parameter of course)
Create a shortcut and drop the file over it.

Same here: put a shortcut to the script on your SendTo folder
(wherever it resides)

I try that (with viewarg.py renamed, obviously), and get this error:
"'defines.p y' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file."
defines.py is in the same directory as the batch file, but cannot be
executed like this. Double-clicking on it works, as expected.

Doesn't work; the mouse cursor changes to the "not permitted" sign and
when you release the mouse, nothing happens.

That is what I meant by 'the usual steps'. :) It doesn't work.

Alter the target of the shortcut to something like:
C:\Python25\pyt hon.exe C:\0\sort_test. py
and drag and drop should work, with the filename of the dragged file
being sent as a script argument.

(but I've used such shortcuts even on Windows 98)
Perhaps it's some configuration, or you don't have enough permission
to do that.

Same as above! I think you should ask on a Windows newsgroup.
