I'm trying to analyze thousands of different cancer datasets and run
the
same python program on them. I use Windows XP, Python 2.7 and the
IDLE
interpreter.
First thing: Don;t use IODLE as your interpreter. IDLE is a
development environment that should not be used for running
code in "production" type environments. Python is the interoreter,
use it directly.
I already have the input files in a directory and I want to
learn the syntax for the quickest way to execute the program over
all these
datasets.
If the script take a filename as an input parameter you can likely do
python myfile.py *.*
from the OS command prompt.
Or in MacOS or Windows select all the files in Explorer and drag them
onto
your script. I suspect most Linux desktops will allow the same.
Or you could write a second python script that traverses the files in
your
folder and calls a function which contains your code (recall that a
python
file can be impoerted as a module into another python file...)
Just some ideas,
