wxPython Dropfile app for mac

[mawk1000]

Hi,
I have created a python app for macOsx but I cannot get it to process a file that is dropped on it in the argv when i use the py2app. Whenever it runs it only gets sys.argv[0] as the scriptname itself. Has anyone ever seen this before, or have any suggestions on how to get this to work?
Cheers

wx may be eating the args. They may be available in wxApp::argv in your OnInit() handler:

class MyApp(wx.App):
    def OnInit(self):
        print self.argv
        self.main = hetap_welcome.create(None)
        self.main.Show()
        self.SetTopWindow(self.main)
        return True
 
def main():
    application = MyApp(redirect=False)
    application.MainLoop()

But I've never tried that.
