subprocess.Popen() and a .msi installer

[Sebastian Alonso]

Hey everyone, I'm working on a script which uses subprocess to launch a
bunch of installers, but I'm getting problems with .msi installers although
.exe ones work fine. The output I get is this:

 import subprocess
 p = subprocess.Popen('python.msi')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File pyshell#1, line 1, in module
p = subprocess.Popen('python.msi')
File C:\Python25\lib\subprocess.py, line 593, in __init__
errread, errwrite)
File C:\Python25\lib\subprocess.py, line 793, in _execute_child
startupinfo)
WindowsError: [Error 8] %1 no es una aplicación Win32 válida


Has this ever happen to any of you? The idea is to get this running, make it
an exe (with py2exe) and use it whenever I need to install my whole
development environment in the right order.

Thanks in advance to all of you.


Alonso Sebastian.

Global hoykey on windows

[Sebastian Alonso]

Hey everyone, I've been working on an app that uses global hotkey and
it's a very important part of the app, so far I have been using
python-keybinder [0] and it's been working great on linux, but now I want to
make it work under windows and there was no way to make it work. Any other
library I should try out? Any advice/trick you know to achieve this?

thanks in advance

Running pygtk app under windows.

[Sebastian Alonso]

   Hey everyone, I'm trying to be able to run my app, which uses pygtk,
under windows, but unfortunately I'm having big problems with it. The main
purpose of this is to later on make an .exe file but i havent even been able
to run the app at least.

I've followed every single step from this faq
http://faq.pygtk.org/index.py?file=faq21.001.htpreq=show and when i try to
run the example the example they offer I get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File pyshell#0, line 1, in module
import gtk
  File C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\gtk-2.0\gtk\__init__.py, line 30, in
module
import gobject as _gobject
  File C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\gtk-2.0\gobject\__init__.py, line 26,
in module
from glib import spawn_async, idle_add, timeout_add,
timeout_add_seconds, \
  File C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\gtk-2.0\glib\__init__.py, line 22, in
module
from glib._glib import *
ImportError: DLL load failed: Specified module cannot be found.

Do you have any clue on what could be happening ? I've tried most of the
things you would expect to make anything work on windows, reboot, unistall
everything and re-install everything again, yet it wont work...

Thanks in advanced.

Seba
