The Python docs faq says that due to a bug in Windows NT's cmd.exe, the output redirection and piping won't work when started from file extension. http://docs.python.org/faq/windows.html#how-do-i-make-python-scripts-executable http://docs.python.org/py3k/faq/windows.html#how-do-i-make-python-scripts-executable This is actually fixed in Windows, but the fix is disabled by default, and you need to enable it in regedit, the keyword is "InheritConsoleHandles". Proof & Details: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=321788 It would be great if the docs could refer to this fix, as the docs is the major source of information for many.
