I'm working in a simple python module to run a external command,
this
command is named "ogr2ogr.exe" . When I execute my python script :
*import os
def call():
os.system(' "C:\\Archivos de
programa\\FWTools2.4.7\\bin\\ogr2ogr.exe"
')*
* raw_input()*
*call()*
It runs, but if I want to enter arguments: *ogr2ogr* to test my
.exe, it
shows me an error *"ogr2ogr is not define", *any suggestion?
You need to read the arfguments before calling the exe. Then create
the full
command string and pass that tro os.system.
However os.system is a blunt instrument, you will find you have much
more
control using the subprocess module which supercedes os.system and
various others ways of executing external programs. It take a wee bit
more effort but the extra control is worth it.
The documentation has numerous examples and the "Using the OS"
topic of my tutorial has some info too.
