Use IDLE to launch script using the full file path

I'm currently using Notepad++ to edit my python script, and I would like to be able to use a shortcut to make my script run in IDLE. Currently, I have:

cd C:\Python32
pythonw.exe Lib\idlelib\idle.pyw -c "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"

When I try to run it, I get a Syntax error on the : in C:\Users\...

However, if I omit -c, IDLE properly opens up the file in it's editor and then I am able to run it.

I feel like I'm missing something simple, can anyone help me out?

Solution

  • Argument -c used to start the command, if you need to run a file, then use argument -r

    I use this command: C:\Python27\Lib\idlelib\idle.bat -r "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
