I have a software that has python 2.5.5. I want to send a command that would start a script in python 2.7.5 and then proceed with the script.
I tried using
#!python2.7.5
and http://redsymbol.net/articles/env-and-python-scripts-version/
But I cant get it to work...
In my python 2.5.5 I can execute script as
execfile("c:/script/test.py")
The problem is that the 2.7.5 has a module comtypes + few other. I dont know how to install it for my 2.5.5 so I'm trying to start a separate script and run it under python27. Now another reason why I want it its because I want to take the load off program. I have 2 heavy tasks to perform. The second task is the one that need comptypes so sending it to external shell/app would do perfect trick. Is there a way to do it ?
I wish I could just type run("C:/Python27/python.exe % C:/script/test,py")
Thanks, bye.
Little update. I try to run
import os
os.system("\"C:\Python27\python.exe\" D:\test\runTest.py")
But I'm getting a quick pop up and close window saying that
Import Error : no module named site...
This works if I run from external shell but not from here :(
So I've tried another approach this time to add modules to python... in any case I run this :
import os
import sys
sys.path.append("C:/python27")
sys.path.append("C:/Python27/libs")
sys.path.append("C:/Python27/Lib")
sys.path.append("C:/Python27/Lib/logging")
sys.path.append("C:/Python27/Lib/site-packages")
sys.path.append("C:/Python27/Lib/ctypes")
sys.path.append("C:/Python27/DLLs")
import PyQt4
print PyQt4
import comtypes
import logging
but it crashes with C error...
Runtime Error :
Program: c:\Pr...
R6034
An application has made attempt to load the C runtime library incorectly.
blablabla....
How can I import it ? Maybe if I can import it I can run it directly from my app rather than starting separate python...

Another update to isseu
so I run now
import os
os.system("start cmd {D:\test\runTest.py}")
now this works and he open CMD with c:\Python27 as directory but he dont run the file... any hitns how to fix it?
Use "raw" strings so that you don't need to escape as much; I think the backslashes are what was breaking your code since backslash is considered an escape character except in raw strings.
Also, use the subprocess module. It makes it easy to avoid manually making a safe command string (the module takes care of that for you). All you need to do is pass it a list of arguments.
Your code would then look something like this:
import subprocess
proc = subprocess.Popen([r"C:\Python27\python.exe", r"D:\test\runTest.py"])
# then either do this
proc.wait() # wait until the process finishes
# or this
while True:
# NOTE: do something else here
# poll the process until it is done
if proc.poll() is not None:
break # break out of loop
See subprocess docs for Python 2 here. Be sure to check if a feature was added after Python 2.5 (the 2.5 docs aren't available online anymore AFAIK).
UPDATE:
I just noticed that you tried to use the Python 2.7 libraries and modules in your 2.5 code. This probably won't work due to new features added after 2.5. But it got me thinking how you might be able to make 2.7 work.
It may be that your Python2.7 install can't find its libraries; this is probably why you get the error Import Error : no module named site. You can do something like the above and modify the PYTHONPATH environment variable before starting the subprocess, like this:
import os
import subprocess
paths = [r"C:\python27", r"C:\python27\libs", r"C:\python27\Lib\site-packages", r"C:\python27\DLLs"]
paths += os.environ.get('PYTHONPATH', '').split(os.pathsep)
env27 = dict(os.environ)
env27['PYTHONPATH'] = os.pathsep.join(paths)
proc = subprocess.Popen([r"C:\Python27\python.exe", r"D:\test\runTest.py"], env=env27)

ran into a weird problem where there is a shared-object import error only when I run the script from command line. It succeed if i run the script in the python console using exec(...)
I have a class that needs a shared object: foo.py:
import os
cur_dir = os.curdir()
os.chdir('/tmp/dir_with_shared_object/')
import shared_object_class
os.chdir(cur_dir)
class Useful:
... # use the shared object import
Then there is a script like this:
from foo import Useful
If I enter python console and run:
exec(open('script.py').read())
Everything works fine.
If I run this on command line:
python script.py
I will get
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'shared_object_class'
The python is the same. It is 3.7.3, GCC 7.3.0 Anaconda. Anyone knows what is causing this discrepancy in behavior for shared object import?
A standard way of importing from a custom directory would be to include it in the PYTHONPATH environmental variable, with export PYTHONPATH=/tmp/dir_with_shared_object/.
update
It could also be done dynamically with
import sys
p = '/tmp/dir_with_shared_object/'
sys.path.insert(0, p)
PS
I think I have an explanation for why OP's original code didn't work. According to this python reference page, the import system searches, inter alia, in "[t]he directory containing the input script (or the current directory when no file is specified)." So the behavior in the REPL loop is different from how it is when running a script. Apparently the current directory is evaluated each time an import statement is encountered, while the directory containing the input script doesn't change.
I'm not sure if the title of this question is correct, mods please feel free to change it.
I'm working through cs231n Convolutional Neural Networks for Visual Recognition course online and I've hit a weird error. This is my first attempt at any real Python programming so it could be a simple error, or something more complicated.
I'm using Python 2.7, Anaconda, and Windows 7.
When trying to run a script I get the following error;
NameError: global name 'im2col_cython' is not defined
My understanding so far is that this occurs because this fails (and calls the exception);
try:
from cs231n.im2col_cython import col2im_cython, im2col_cython
from cs231n.im2col_cython import col2im_6d_cython
except ImportError:
print 'run the following from the cs231n directory and try again:'
print 'python setup.py build_ext --inplace'
print 'You may also need to restart your iPython kernel'
I've tried to figure out why this may be the case. First off I have to run setup.py to turn im2col_cython.pyx into other files. This seems to run but does at one point have the warning;
warning: extension name 'im2col_cython' does not match fully qualified name 'cs231n.im2col_cython' of 'im2col_cython.pyx'
My figuring here is that it's an issue to do with the fact that the folder tree I have looks like this;
Assignment 2
->cs231n
Inside cs231n is where the setup.py and im2col_cython.pyx files are located. I've installed cython, and I have vc for python2.7 installed. When I run setup.py is creates 2 new files;
im2col_cython.c
im2col_cython.pyd
But I have no idea if that's what it's meant to do or anything. I'm in way over my head with this (0 Python knowledge), but I'm keen to learn!
EDIT 1
The script that imports im2col_cython is here
The im2col_cython file is here
EDIT 2
When including the following in the exception clause;
import traceback; traceback.print_exc()
I get this output;
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "fast_layers.py", line 3, in <module>
from cs231n.im2col_cython import col2im_cython, im2col_cython
ImportError: No module named cs231n.im2col_cython
Add this in the file fast_layer.py before import cs231n.im2col_cython:
import pyximport
pyximport.install()
The problem you mentioned should be fixed.
I have this line of import in my python code:
from project.lib.framework.test_cases import TestCase
and it works fine when I run it from command line. However, if I try to run it from my IDE (Active state komodo), I get an error:
ImportError: No module named project.lib.framework.test_case.
Can anyone tell me why?
Because you changed the import statement?
In the first example, you are importing from project.lib.framework.test_cases, but in the second, you appear to be importing from project.lib.framework.test_case. Notice the missing s at the end.
Other then that, assuming you are using the same python binary, there should be no difference between an IDE and a command line for import statements.
This is my code. I'm pretty new to this.
from subprocess import call
call(["cd", "/etc/apache2/"])
However, when this function is run, I get
Errno 2: No such file or directory
I am running Django within Apache*. This is my views.py file. Ask for additional code, and you shall receive.
edit - It should be noted that /etc/apache2/ does indeed exist.
If you want to change the working directory of the Python process you can use chdir from the os module:
import os
os.chdir('/etc/apache2')
First of all, you will not get what you expect if you run this. Try
import os
os.chdir('/etc/apache2')
Second, try /path/to/cd as process may not know cd alias.
Im trying to compile Godot engine following the instructions here
When I run scons bin/godot as the tutorial says, I get the following error:
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
ImportError: cannot import name _args_from_interpreter_flags:
File "/home/grayfox/github/godot2/godot/SConstruct", line 9:
import multiprocessing
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/multiprocessing/__init__.py", line 65:
from multiprocessing.util import SUBDEBUG, SUBWARNING
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/multiprocessing/util.py", line 40:
from subprocess import _args_from_interpreter_flags
The SConstruct file starts this way:
EnsureSConsVersion(0,14);
import string
import os
import os.path
import glob
import sys
import methods
import multiprocessing
...
If I try to run python SConstruct I get an error complaining about missing functions defined by scons (i.e. the script fails after doing all the imports).
Commenting import multiprocessing fixes the issue but I don't want to modify that file, as I would have to revert the change if I ever make a pull request. The project is quite active so I believe this has something to do with my local configuration.
Any ideas why the script is failing to import _args_from_interpreter_flags only if I execute it via scons?
[UPDATE]
I did a fresh Gentoo install and the problem persists. I did some tests and I found this:
In a python terminal>
>>> import SCons.Script
>>> from subprocess import _args_from_interpreter_flags
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name _args_from_interpreter_flags
>>> import subprocess
>>> subprocess.__file__
'/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/SCons/compat/_scons_subprocess.pyc'
But the output is different if I do this:
>>> import subprocess
>>> subprocess.__file__
'/usr/lib64/python2.7/subprocess.pyc'
So I update my question: Is this a bug? Can anybody reproduce it in other distros? If it's a bug, should I report it to Gentoo or to SCons?
[ANOTHER UPDATE]
Adding temp.extend([os.path.join(x, 'lib64') for x in prefs]) did't work, same error.
Adding print sys.path at the beginning of the compact module gives:
['/usr/lib64/python-exec/python2.7/scons-local-2.3.0',

It looks as if this isn't really a problem connected to SCons directly. You might have an alien "subprocess" module/package installed in your system. Also check out Cannot import name _args_from_interpreter_flags which seems to be related.
Based on your updated question: I tried to compile Godot on my machine (Python 2.7.3, SCons 2.3.1, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) and it's running fine, so the problem is not related to the provided SConstruct (and its supporting build description files in subfolders). The "_scons_subprocess" module gets used only when the import of the original "subprocess.py" fails. So I suspect that the SCons start script sets up a wrong sys.path, which may happen under 64bit (see issue http://scons.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2657 ).
After you added "temp.extend([os.path.join(x, 'lib64') for x in prefs])", your "print sys.path" statement shows paths like "/usr/lib64/python-exec" in its output. A Google search turned up the page http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-985402-start-0.html for me. It describes an issue with Gentoo, where programs are installed as links to pip. Please follow the given advice and see if this fixes your problem.
It's a bug in Gentoo's scons-2.3.0 and scons-2.3.1 ebuilds (see bug report). It has been fixed in versions 2.3.1-r1 and higher.
