Parameter Passing - String Variable Truncated ?

Hi,

I'm passing what I think is a string parameter to another Python
program (spawn.py) - see the code snip below. But only the counter
part gets printed to a log file via spawn.py. Yet the echo print to
the output window shows the whole string with the fc part. Better
explained below I hope, there's the calling .py and the spawn
script .py:
....snip...
while fc:
counter = counter + 1
fc_cntr = str(counter) + ' : ' + fc
print fc_cntr + '\n' # Print to Pythonwin interactive window -
eg. "1 : New York" - all is printed OK

arglist = []
arglist.append(pythonPath)
arglist.append(spawn_script)
arglist.append(fc_cntr) # This gets sent to the spawn_script but
only "1" gets printed

os.spawnv(os.P_WAIT, pythonPath, arglist)
fc = fcs.next()
....
--------------------------
## the spawn_script
import win32com.client, sys, os, time, re

in_featclass = sys.argv[1]
handle = open('C:\\log_file.txt', 'a')
handle.write(in_featclass + "\n") # ONLY the counter part gets printed
to the log file! Why?
--------------------------

Thanks, for help.

--------------------------
Try handle.write(repr(sys.argv[1:]) + "\n")
and come back with your conclusions ... unless of course someone has
spoonfed you in the meantime.

Another clue: write yourself a little arg-dumper script and try
running it in a Command Prompt window.

in_featclass = sys.argv[1]
Try

in_featclass = sys.argv[1:]

to collect all the arguments. At the moment I suspect some shell
argument processing is intervening, splitting your "N : something" into
multiple arguments.
handle = open('C:\\log_file.txt', 'a')
handle.write(in_featclass + "\n") # ONLY the counter part gets printed
to the log file! Why?

Sorry, that should have been

in_featclass = " ".join(sys.argv[1:])+"\n"
