Hello:
I would like to know how to call a program from within a program and what
directory I should place one small program file in. I am running Python
2.6.6 and Windows 7.
I have a directory called C:\Users\StarShip\PyProgs and it has the files
BreakersCafe.txt and BreakersCafe.py. This is my primary program running
fine.
I have a subdirectory called C:\Users\StarShip\PyProg \PicturesForTesting
and another subdirectory C:\Users\StarShip\PyProgs\CustomFunctions with
various program files, functions defined in them, etc. which I import in
my primary program. For example:
def Newbanner():
print "\n Alternate Selections\n"
Now I have the small program below which is fully self-contained and I
want to execute it from within BreakersCafe.txt. I would like to use
raw_input and if statement for simple yes/no asking if they would like to
see this BeveragesMenu.txt and have it as the last 3-4 lines of the
main().
The only directory of these three that has __init__ is
C:\Users\StarShip\PyProgs\CustomFunctions
and as you can see, the program below is not a function, it has no 'def'
anything. I get 'NameError: global name 'BeveragesMenu' is not defined'
when I run this in IDLE. I suppose I _could_ make this a function :} but
it is likely doable to call a program as a program, right? I am also
compiling to a .pyw file where applicable.
Thanks for the help.
Patty
