[Tutor] Calling Python Functions from Powershell scripts
Howdy All, To give an overview of the problem, I have an installer. It is used to install virtual machines at specific location. The installer is written in Powershell and Python. The topmost script is in Python ( install.py ) which internally calls other .py and .PS1 ( powershell ) scripts using popen() . I am working on having a file based logging mechanism for this installer. i.e both for .py and .PS1 scripts. Q1. I want to use python logging module. But then how do I integrate it with powershell scripts. ? One option would be to write into a .log file using logging module in all .py scripts. Use that ( .log ) file in powershell scripts by using its own logging module ( dnt knw if it exists ! ) Q2. Can we call / run .py from inside .PS1. ? Please suggest suitable methods for effective logging mechanism.

Re: [Tutor] Calling Python Functions from Powershell scripts
You can run .py files from powershell, just like you would run any other command - 'python myfile.py' I don't have any experience of the logging modules, but what I do when using multiple languages is have them all write to the same plain text log file and just prepend [scriptname] to the beginning of each line - that way I can track execution order and follow error/info messages all in one file. That's just how I prefer to do it.

Thanks Nikunj Bangalore ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor PowerShell has built-in cmdlets for logging that use the verb write. Running the command get-command write* will list those commands for you (and a couple of other ones). Each one is controlled by a shell variable that ends with Preference. For example, to turn the warning messages up, then set the variable $WarningPreference to Continue. Other options are Stop, Inquire, and SilentlyContinue. To turn down logging, set each of the $*Preference session variables to SilentlyContinue. To turn up logging, then set them all to Continue. Here are some references for automatic logging [1] and a script template with a logging function [2] [1] http://jdhitsolutions.com/blog/2011/03/powershell-automatic-logging/ [2] http://powershell.com/cs/media/p/3950.aspx -- Christian Witts Python Developer // ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
