Hi
I am trying to write a PYTHON script that automates the running of an
application program MX200510.EXE under XP Pro via a DOS window. This file
is in directory
C:\Program Files\CMG\IMEX\2005.10\EXE
The command line arguments are
MX200510.EXE -f "temp.dat" -wd "C:\Projects\Vitol\New
business\Octon\simulation\full field model\0608"
My Python script is as follows:
#
# Test Python script to submit IMEX jobs
#
import os
#
# Start of MAIN program
#
# Initialisation
work_dir=r'C:\Projects\Vitol\New business\Octon\simulation\full field
model\0608'
imex_dir=r'C:\Program Files\CMG\IMEX\2005.10\EXE'
imex_fil='"temp.dat"'
imex_args=('mx200510.exe','-f',imex_fil,'-wd','"'+work_dir+'"')
nscen=2
# Check IMEX directory and files exist
os.chdir(imex_dir)
L=os.listdir(imex_dir)
for item in L:
print item
# Change directory to working directory
os.chdir(work_dir)
# Loop over N scenarios
for n in range(1,nscen):
# Spawn IMEX job and wait for completion
os.spawnv(os.P_WAIT, imex_dir, imex_args)
The output from this script is
ck9700.dll
libguide40.dll
mx200510.exe
mx200510en.chm
mx200510sp.chm
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Projects/Vitol/New business/Octon/simulation/full field
model/0608/test_imex.py", line 39, in -toplevel-
os.spawnv(os.P_WAIT, imex_dir, imex_args)
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
I tried following the ARGS into the os module using the debugger but this
did not help much, presumably because OS is precompiled. Not sure which
file or directory Python is unhappy about - LISTDIR shows that the EXE file
and path exist so presumably it's something in the way I
set up the argument list. All suggestions gratefully received!
Thanks
