Hello, I'm building an app that needs to do the following things: a) checks a Google Sheet for email and name of a client, b) logs into a dropbox account and downloads some files (only those files with the name from the google sheet), c) does some work on the files d) sends the new files to the clients with the information from the google sheets. It needs to do this from the first moment it runs till 7:30 PM local time (using a while loop).
The problem I'm having is that when it starts running, the first iteration runs fine. When it gets to the second, the google sheets function I created that accesses the data of the sheets does not work (even though it did the first time). The console yields the following error: "FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'client_id.json'" This is weird, because the json file obviously is not moved in between runs. Here's an overview of the structure of the code: def full(): global logo, plogo, plogow, plogoh, client, metadata, logo_path inst = 1 logo_path = os.path.abspath('.\\logo\\p4.png') client = dropbox.client.DropboxClient(XXXXX') while datetime.datetime.now().time() <= datetime.time(19, 45): if inst == 1: custo = customers() if len(custo) == 0: pass else: metadata = client.metadata('/') d_files = files() send_f = pd.merge(d_files, custo, left_on='c_name', right_on='Nombre', how='inner') dl_files(send_f, custo) else: temp = customers() send = temp[~temp.isin(custo)].dropna() custo = customers() if len(send) == 0: pass else: metadata = client.metadata('/') d_files = files() send_f = pd.merge(d_files, custo, left_on='c_name', right_on='Nombre', how='inner') dl_files(send_f, send) time.sleep(30) inst += 1 The 'customers()' function that is giving me problems: def customers(): scope = ['https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds'] creds = ServiceAccountCredentials.from_json_keyfile_name('client_id.json', scope) client = gspread.authorize(creds) sheet = client.open('RC').sheet1 c_list = sheet.get_all_records() df = pd.DataFrame(c_list) return df I really have no idea why this is happening. Does anybody might have a clue? Thank you, -- Frank Pinto -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
