[Tutor] [Linux] open a file in any home "~" ?
Hello,
I want to read a configuration file from a small python app (user preferences).
The ".myapp.conf" is in the home folder of the user.
if I do:
f=open("/home/user1/.myapp.conf","r") #it works
obviously I won't know the home user folder name then I wanted to use:
f=open("~/.myapp.conf","r") # but it returns a IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
How can I do to access this file whatever the user is ?
Thanks for your help.

[Tutor] Hiding/Killing a DOS window (from a previous os.system call)
Hello,
I'm launching an external app through an os.system() or os.popen() but I
don't want the resulting DOS window to hang-on there forever (my python
script is launched with pythonw):
I use a sys.exit() to kill the script who launched the external
app.Thepython script is killed, the app is launched, but the resulting
DOS window
is still there (I have the same result if I use the DOS tskill or taskkill
command to kill the script with his PID).
How could I hide/kill the resulting DOS window from an os.sytem /
os.popenwith Python ?
Also is there a way to launch an external app. but without os.system and
os.popen to wait there but immediately continue to the next python line (to
avoid this I'm using a thread for now).
As an example I'm using this so far.
If I use pythonw to launch the script, notepad is launched, the script is
killed but the DOS window stay there.
import os,sys,time
from thread import start_new_thread
def launchApp():
os.system("notepad.exe")
try:
start_new_thread(launchApp,())
except:
print "Something went wrong => do somenthing"
time.sleep(2)
print "And now going out"
sys.exit()

[Tutor] White spaces in a path (from a string variable) and os.popen on Windows
Hello,
I'm getting crazy with white spaces on Windows. :(
I'm aware of the three paths gotchas on Windows well explained here:
http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld/tutfiles.htm
But my problem is with white spaces in windows paths (very common with
"program files", "documents and settings",etc).
I precise I use os.popen because I need to read the answer from an external
command-line app that I feed with a file or folder path.
When I know exactly the path in advance I use a raw string r' ' and I add
double quotes where necessary to avoid the white spaces syndrome. But I
don't see how to do this "easily" when my path is a string variable given by
my GUI (like C:\Documents and Settings\name\Mes documents)
I've googled this problem but wasn't successful so far. I just seem to find
people who have problems with whitespaces and Python like here:
http://e-scribe.com/news/324
Can you help me to understand how to deal with white spaces in Pyhton (or
SVP point me to any URL or relevant book). :)
For now I'm trying to make work a minimal "hello world" example here :
The little script below shows a button (wx) to select a directory.
I print in the console the selected directory (string) and I try to recover
the result of a DOS dir command thought an os.popen.
If I select a folder without a whitespace(s) it works well. If the path has
a whitespace it doesn't (not apparent result).
Can you make this script work in all situation on Windows ? (ie whatever the
folder I select with the GUI) ?
Many, many thanks in advance. :)
# Test with popen and paths containing white spaces
import wx,os,sys
app=wx.App(redirect=False)
class GUI(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self,parent,title):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, -1, title,size=(400,100))
bkg=wx.Panel(self)
dirButton=wx.Button(bkg,label="Select a directory")
self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.goPath, dirButton)
def goPath(self,evt):
myDir=wx.DirDialog(self)
myDir.ShowModal()
dirPath=myDir.GetPath()
print "GetPath result is",dirPath
result=os.popen("dir "+dirPath).read()
print "os.popen result is ",result
win=GUI(None,title="Test")
win.Show()
app.MainLoop()

That worked fine with all the directories I threw at it.

[Tutor] [OSX] "Executable" .py or pyc script (stuck at Applescript)
Hello list! - myapp.py is in a "myfolder" folder that the "users" will be able to download and put anywhere on their Mac. - users don't have any Python knowledge and I have no idea if there's a python launcher on their mac => trying to make an applescript file in the folder right next to myapp.py I tried and failed at : *tell* *application* "Terminal" *do script* "python myapp.py"# tried also with ./myapp.py *end* *tell* or do shell script "python myapp.py" # tried also with ./myapp.py In both cases OSX complains it can't find the file. It works though if I give the full path but I can't do that since I have no idea where the folder will be on their macs. With Applescript how would write it so that Python starts in the application folder? (myapp.py & "myfolder") Any other way to do it maybe knowing my constraints above? (I tried py2app but it failed on wxpython on my Lion with Apple Python that I need to use) Thanks! francois ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

I will go with that for now. My python script is using a bunch of relative
paths so I added this before the script:
if sys.platform=="darwin":
os.chdir(os.path.expanduser("~/myfolder/"))
I will try to see if there's something like "inno setup" to make an
installer. If anyone have something to recommend for this i'm interested.

[Tutor] Pydev + Remote System Explorer (RSE) : problems with local imports when working localy
Hello List, I'm very happy with PyDev plugin for Eclipse as a Python IDE (I'm on Eclipse 3.7, WinXP with latest Pydev). Recently I've installed the Remote System Explorer plugin for Eclipse which adds the ability to edit remote files on a server when I need it (awesome). Unfortunately it's messing my ability to work on some Python files locally on my PC (those with local imports): File "C:\Documents and Settings\myaccount\workspace\RemoteSystemsTempFiles\LOCALHOST\c\Documents and Settings\myaccount\workspace\myprojet\myfile.py", line 50, in ? ImportError: No module named mymodule (it works only if I "python myfile.py" in the command shell) I know some people of the list are using Eclipse and maybe they use RSE too. Do you know if I can easily deactivate RSE so I can run a python script normally (without the *localhost* inserting in the path) ? Is there a configuration to do to keep both ? I've tried to switch form perspective "remote systems" to perspective "pydev" but I have the same problem.

[Tutor] os.system vs subprocess.Popen args problems

subprocess.Popen (on windows, recording video with FFMPEG.exe)
cmd=('ffmpeg -f dshow -i video="%s" -f dshow -i audio="%s" -q 5
"%s"')%(videoinputName, audioinputName, videoFileOutput)
os.system(cmd)
*works*
subprocess.Popen(["ffmpeg","-f","dshow","-i",'video="%s"'%videoinputName,"-f","dshow","-i",'audio="%s"'%audioinputName,"-q","5","%s"%videoFileOutput])
*don't work*
>> [dshow @ 025984a0] Could not find video device.
>> video="QuickCam Orbit/Sphere AF": Input/output error
The reason I'm going with subprocess is to avoid to have the DOS window
coming in the forefront.
Any idea of what I'm doing wrong? Or any other way to hide or minimize the
DOS window?
