I need some help figuring out how to execute this python code from python -c I am have trouble formatting python so that it will execute for another app in cmd I understand there maybe other ways to do what I am doing but I am limited by the final execution using cmd python -c so please keep this in mind. I'm limited by the final delivery of code. The python is being called by a server that does not have access to any python script file
So I have some python code ie, import os import shutil myPath =r"C:\dingdongz" for root, dirs, files in os.walk(myPath): for file in files: os.remove(os.path(root, file)) for dir in dirs: shutil.rmtree(os.path.join(root,dir)) But I am trying to excute it using the following method, python -c "print 'hotdogs'" So this what i have but no worky cmdline = "\" import os, shutil \n for root, dirs, files in os.walk("+myPath+"):\n \t for file in files: \n \t \t os.remove(os.path.join(root, file)) \n \t for dir in dirs: \n \t\t shutil.rmtree(os.path.join(root, dir))" I have also tried the following python -c "import os; import shutil; for root, dirs, files in os.walk('+myPath+'): for file in files: os.remove(os.path.join(root, file)); for dir in dirs: shutil.rmtree(os.path.join(root, dir))" I am still getting error tree(os.path.join(root, dir)) ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
