It's actually sys.argv that you want. As long as you have .py associated
with Python, it even works to drag file(s) onto your .py script for
testing before building with py2exe.

I seem to recall that Windows has some limit on how many files it will
pass on the command line like this (for any language, not just Python).
Perhaps it's a limit on the maximum length the command line can have?
