Script fails when executing by filetype associations on Windows about tvnamer HOT 3 CLOSED

Not sure what is happening.. Could you try with the latest version (from this repository)? tvnamer.py is from the old version and has stopped being developed.

What interpreter is this with? I'm not too sure how Windows deals with running python files directly (since it doesn't use the shbang), I assume it's with the associated executable?

Also does it work if you run tvnamer on a file (not directories), or with a relative path? Might be something to do with the F:\ bit (although the os.path module should handle this fine)

If this is still an issue with tvnamer v2 I'll boot into Windows and have a look..

Version:

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

When you run any Windows file something called ShellExecute is called. This looks up in the registry for the associated executable to a particular filetype. Then Windows executes that binary with the filename as the argument. It has an impact however on the value of argv[0] to use C-style terminology.

Using a file it fails.

Closing old ticket. Installing via pip and running tvnamer [...] works correctly as per #188 which would be the supported means of running this on Windows
