I suggest you write your python code first - get it debugged and then try to use py2exe

python myprog.py textfile.txt

Is the same as doing:

myprog.exe textfile.txt
after py2exe has compiled it.

Have a look at the sys (sys.argv), getopt and optparse modules for ideas on reading the command line.

py2exe has nothing to do with reading the command line (except to read parameters for intself). You don't need py2exe until you are ready to give your program to someone who does not have python installed.
