Hello people,
I'd like to have the functionality known from "real" executables that
if I drag-drop a file icon on top of the app, the app starts and has
the file's path as command-line argument.
However, this doesn't seem to work with Python scripts because Windows
sees those just as files, not apps.
Can this be done?
Thanks,

There may be fancier ways but...
.... prefix the shortcut target with the python executable:
c:\python25\pyt hon.exe myscript.py
I've just tested this with a script which does this:
<code>
import os, sys
os.startfile (sys.argv[1])
</code>
and it works ok.

This is done via a drop handler.
Add registry key
HKCR\Python.Fil e\shellex\DropH andler
with a default value of
{86C86720-42A0-1069-A2E8-08002B30309D}

Did someone say dropping stuff? My favorite. Discussions, names,
babies, you get the picture.
I'll take things you drop for $500, Alex.

Hi all.
I would like to make a console application, where I can drag, say, a
text file, onto the exe itself, and the console window will popup and
tell me what file was dragged onto the exe, (if it's even possible).
Would anyone know which route to take? If I need to use MFC or
something, than I will try this another time when I start learning
about MFC scripting. Hopefully there is a simple way that I am unaware
of.

With the "as if" rule in play, doesn't that effectively render the
"register" keyword completely useless?
Example: I make a silly compiler which creates code that goes out of
its way to take a full 10 minutes every time a "register" declared
variable is read from or written to. Besides this lag, everything else
runs as expected. Then my compiler is still C compliant, aye?
If so, then it is unwise for any programmer to ever use the...

hello,
after 4 months playing around with Python,
and I still have troubles with egg files.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
If I google on "python egg", I get lost of links,
which contains huge pages of information,

I'm looking for a "smart folder" program to run on my Windows XP machine.
I'm not having any luck finding it and think the logic behind the program is

programming and dabbled in VS.Net.
Can someone share some pointers in how I could implement the following?
Basically, you drag a file to the "smart" folder and, depending on the type
of file and settings for that...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
Here is the code in...
