Can't use arguments in !py script command

[ssbssa]

When calling a python script with arguments, like !py path\to\my\script.py arg1 arg2, the arguments arg1 arg2 are not properly forwarded to the script.
My guess it's because the arguments are converted to a std::wstring argw, but the argw variable is immediately afterwards destroyed when the for() scope is left (https://github.com/ivellioscolin/pykd/blob/0.3.4.15_1/pykd/windbgext.cpp#L185), so the pointers inside pythonArgs are invalid in the following PySys_SetArgv call.

arg parser is handled by pykd bootstrap (pykd.dll), not pykd python package. Check here.
What's the issue windbg version, pykd version, python version, pykd bootstrap version?

[ssbssa]

I didn't even know pykd bootstrap existed until now, why do I need it?
Once I fixed this issue in pykd, everything worked just fine.

".load pykd.dll", pykd.dll is the bootstraper.

That didn't really answer my question, why do I need the bootstrapper?
I currently do !load pykd.pyd, and everything works just fine.

Using pykd bootstrapper to interactive with installed python and installed pykd package is from the original page. The original site is dead but you could find from some webpage cache like this

pykd.pyd also exports necessary DebugExtension*** required by WinDbg, so your usage should also work. Since the author didn't maintain the project for long time, we have no chance to check with. However from the log, you can find windbgext.cpp from pykd hasn't been updated since 2019, while the one in pykd bootstrapper has last update on 2021.

I'll make both pykd.pyd and pykd.dll share the same DebugExtension*** interface in future, so that both usages can be supported.
