Hi to all, I need to run a program from inside python (substantially, algorithmic batch processing). I'm on mac osx 10.3.8 with python 2.3 framework and macpython.
Trying to use exec*, I checked references, Brueck & Tanner, and then grab this code from effbot: >>> program = "python" >>> def run(program, *args): os.execvp(program, (program,) + args) print "ok" >>> run("python", "/Users/apple/Desktop/prova.py") Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#50>", line 1, in -toplevel- run("python", "/Users/apple/Desktop/prova.py") File "<pyshell#49>", line 2, in run os.execvp(program, (program,) + args) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/ python2.3/os.py", line 336, in execvp _execvpe(file, args) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/ python2.3/os.py", line 374, in _execvpe func(fullname, *argrest) OSError: [Errno 45] Operation not supported This OSError seems to be consistend with all exec family. What does it mean and how to use exec? I also tried with. os.system. It works if I invoke python, but it fails (in a way I don't know) when I invoke other programs. For example: command = "python /Users/apple/Desktop/test.py" >>> os.system(command) 0 (test.py write a string in a file. It works) But with lilypond or with latex I have no output (and in fact it doesn't give 0 as result): >>> command = "lilypond /Users/apple/Desktop/test.ly" >>> os.system(command) 32512 >>> command = "latex /Users/apple/Desktop/test.tex" >>> os.system(command) 32512 Any help is much appreciated Thanks a lot -a- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
