[TxMt] Re: Passing arguments to a Python script when you run inside TextMate

I just started using Textmate recently and at the moment I am trying to get some Python scripts working with it. Everything works great but I was wondering how to you pass command line arguments to a python script when you run it?

There is no support for this, it’s not that we don’t want to provide it, just that it’s not really feasible to do without bringing up a dialog and that would be a pain for the 99% where you don’t want to provide arguments.

What you can do is simply read from stdin then TextMate will show a dialog, this is how I handle it in most of my scripts, i.e. read the arguments from stdin instead of command line options (when I know I mostly run the script in TM).
