...which is why I was hoping to be able to work around this!
Daborun can call *any* method of a script by including the method name on the command line, but I'd really like to be able to drop a script on the daborun icon and have it work. If it means limiting that to code containing a main() function, well, that's the best we can do. I have a question posted to the Python list in the hope that someone more knowledgeable of the internal workings of Python can answer this definitively.
