I was looking for how to execute a script and I was just thinking how
to use django code and here is your e-mail! Thank you!
I am just not sure about how to call the shell script.
should I use the os.system(command) or the os.popen ? That seems that
popen just return when I close the script and this is exactly what I
want to avoid.
and considering that a file called sendmail.py with all the script to
read from a database and send the e-mails will be in the same path as
the view, how can I call it?
def startsending(request):
os.system("sendmail.py")
return HttpResponse('Your e-mails are being send")
?
and I got an example that does a python script, on the end of the
script it does:
----------------------------------------------
[script code]
if __name__ == "__main__":
while something:
execute(command)
[end of the script]
----------------------
if I call it from a view using os.system, it still will be the main so
I have to use this code?
Thanks for your help =)
