I have a python program which is converted to a windows exe using py2exe. I have also added it to the windows context menu. Basically when one right-clicks on any file another option appears with a link to my exe.

The problem is, when I select multiple files, multiple instances of my program starts up.

Is there any way to pass multiple arguments to the exe?

Thanks, Sreedhar.

If you add that that exe to windows context menu manually, then you did the hard step manually. What are you looking for is ability for py2exe to handle the Windows Shell Context Menu, that is not a trivial step and I doubt if it is possible using py2exe itself as I could find no references to in the docs or in the internet.

  • Hi,I have used winreg module in python to add the program to the windows context menu. What I need to know is the way to send multiple arguments to the python program via context menu. – Sreedhar Gundappa Apr 26 '11 at 11:51
