[Tutor] os.path.join question
Is it possible to use os.path.join to link to a file located in the directory above where you are currently located? If so, what is the syntax? Jason___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
[Tutor] What's wrong with this?
I have the following function in a program:
os.popen('filename.py')
What I want to do is launch the program in the os.popen() function. The file I
am trying to launch is located in the same directory as the program the
function is contained in. I also use Linux if that makes a difference.

[Tutor] exec syntax
Would someone please provide me with a simple example of the syntax to use the exec command to open a file. I can see how to use it to execute a script of code embedded in the program (that example was provided in the documentation) but I cannot figure out the syntax to use it to run another python program in another file.

[Tutor] base directory
I am new to Linux. On Windows the base directory is c:\. If I wanted to open a file in a specific location in windows I would use a path such as c:\programs\fileName.py. What is the base directory for Linux? Jason___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

[Tutor] Command Line Promps
Is it possible to have a Python program issue a command line promp to the terminal while the program is running? Jason___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
Re: [Tutor] Command Line Promps
I am using Linux and yes I am wanting the program to run another program. I have tried these before but, if I remember correctly, these methods caused the original program to "freeze" while waiting on the "spawned" program to return a value (usually either true or false). I am planning on having the program start another program and then exit the original program after the second program is started but before the second program ends. I will take another look at these to see if I can work around the "freezing" problem because I have a little more experience then when I tried it the first time. I used the reply button to send a reply to the first message. I did not realize it would send the reply directly to you instead of the list. I have tried to send this reply to the list.

Will the program that is started by the thread continue to run if the program that started the thread exits?

What would be the best method to (1) check if there is a particular file available for download on the internet and (2) if the file is available, download the file to a particular directory. Jason___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
[Tutor] example of spawn
Would someone please provide me a short, simple example of the spawn statement. I am having trouble figuring the syntax out. Jason___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
Re: [Tutor] example of spawn
In the example listed below, reproduced from the web page you recommended, what does `cp`, `cp` and `/dev/null` do? I am assuming `index.html` is the name of the program that will be launched. example:-- os.spawnlp(os.P_WAIT, 'cp', 'cp', 'index.html', '/dev/null') Jason - Original Message - From: "Alan Gauld" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2007 5:32 PM Subject: Re: [Tutor] example of spawn > "Jason Coggins" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote > >> Would someone please provide me a short, simple >> example of the spawn statement. >> I am having trouble figuring the syntax out. > > There are two examples in the os module documentation. > > http://docs.python.org/lib/os-process.html > > > What part do you not understand? > > > -- > Alan Gauld > Author of the Learn to Program web site > http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld > > > > ___ > Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
