Hello,
I am working on a automatic documentation program to convert my txt2tags
based documentations sources into HTMl files. I want to use txt2tags via
command line.
Here's my code:
#####
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import os
import subprocess
import fnmatch
documentation_directory = './doc/'
for file in os.listdir(documentation_directory):
if fnmatch.fnmatch(file, '*.t2t'):
print file
subprocess.call('txt2tags', '-t html', '--toc')
##### END ####
When I run the script it exits with the following error message:
#### START OUTPUT ####
python ./make_documentation.py
index.t2t
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./make_documentation.py", line 12, in <module>
subprocess.call('txt2tags', '-t html', '--toc')
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/subprocess.py", line 444, in call
return Popen(*popenargs, **kwargs).wait()
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/subprocess.py", line 545, in __init__
raise TypeError("bufsize must be an integer")
TypeError: bufsize must be an integer
#### END OUTPUT ####
Whenever you're running subprocess.call and you see this
error, say to yourself: "Have I passed the command line
as one parameter in a list; or have I passed it as a series
of parameters?" Because I can't remember the number of times
I've made that mistake myself. Basically, subprocess.call expects
either a string or a list of strings as the first param, and
then the second one is the bufsize, an integer. And then there
are others (check the params to subprocess.Popen). You're passing
a string -- your second param -- as the second parameter, and it's
not an integer. So you get a TypeError.
Simple, no?
