    I'd like to setup N++ in such a way that pressing a key combination, e.g. CTRL+b, will call an executable at

      c:\python 2.5.2\python.exe

    and pass the current file as an argument to it. How do i do that?

      at the menu choose Run select Run , at the dialog you paste c:\python 2.5.2\python.exe $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH) and if you want to save it , use Save..  there you can select your key combination.
      Note that this works for saved files only! , so if you are writing a new program, save it first and then use your key combination to python you just added. This will run your program but you dont see the console.

      Alternatively I use C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin\Pythonwin.exe $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH) this will load the file in the pythonwin editor , and there i can run or debug , it is more convinient for me.

      If you nee to know what parameters you can use in general , go Plugins - NppExec - Show console dialog  and in the console type HELP then look for  -------- Environment variables -------- and you will get the idea.
