Hy, I'm working on windows and I try to do something like:
import os APP = os.path.abspath("C:\\Program Files\\Notepad++\\notepad++.exe") FILE1 = os.path.abspath("D:\\Documents and settings\\test1.py") FILE2 = os.path.abspath("D:\\Documents and settings\\test2.py") command = '"%(app)s" "%(file1)s" "%(file2)s"' % { 'app' : APP, 'file1' : FILE1, 'file2' : FILE2} # === FOR 'DEBUG' === print APP print FILE1 print FILE2 print command print repr(command) # === END FOR 'DEBUG' === os.system(command) This code give in output: C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe D:\Documents and settings\test1.py D:\Documents and settings\test2.py "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" "D:\Documents and settings \test1.py" "D:\Documents and settings\test2.py" '"C:\\Program Files\\Notepad++\\notepad++.exe" "D:\\Documents and settings\\test1.py" "D:\\Documents and settings\\test2.py"' 'C:\Program' n'est pas reconnu en tant que commande interne ou externe, un programme ex,cutable ou un fichier de commandes. # <= My windows is a french one # This error message could be translated as: # 'c:\Program' is not an internal nor external command, an executable program nor a command file But if I copy the command in the output, an paste it in a console, it work very well. Does any of you know what I can do ? PS: I think I'm oblige to add " neer every path for spaces in path, but if you know an other way, it could be cool :) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
