== Starting programs on Windows ==
Often, it is useful to use a Batch file to start a Python program on Windows. To do so, create an empty file with the ending .bat (Save as.. in IDLE), and write into it:

<source lang="python">
C:\Python26\python.exe my_script.py
</source>

== Using command-line options ==
You can pass options to your program in the batch file. To interpret the options, the sys module contains a list of arguments sys.argv. Note that the first argument is always the name of the
program.

<source lang="python">
import sys
print sys.argv
</source>
