If you are committed to Ironpython, then you can use the the .NET calls
from System.Diagnostics import Process
path = r"C:/Program Files/Chaos Group/V-Ray/Maya 2011 for x64/bin"
execfile = "vrimg2exr.exe"
CMDARGS = "%s %s" % (infile,outfile)
command = "%s\\%s"% (path,execfile)
print "starting command"
proc = Process()
proc.StartInfo.FileName = command
proc.StartInfo.Arguments = CMDARGS
proc.Start()
proc.WaitForExit()
print "Done"
or I have used subprocess to send data in a stream and capture the output.
It is possible to do the same thing with System.Diagnostics but I don't
have an example.
import subprocess as S
mycmd = "XSLTools\\msxsl.exe - FixEncodedMessage.xslt -o %s" % Response
output = S.Popen(mycmd,stdin=S.PIPE,shell=True).communicate(xml)[0]
If you problem is that the IronPython engine you are using in Deadline
doesn't have the standard python modules, you could always build the
modules you need into a DLL on another machine, place the DLL out on the
render farm and use
import clr
clr.AddReference('StdLib')
import subprocess
...
to build the DLL you would can use the pyc.py script that comes with
Ironpython. I typically create a subfolder in my project, copy the Standard
Lib modules I need (and their dependencies) and use this script from the
commandline to generate the DLL.
#Compile Folder into DLL
import clr
clr.AddReference('mscorlib')
from System import IO
from System.IO.Path import Combine
def walk(folder):
for file in IO.Directory.GetFiles(folder):
yield file
for folder in IO.Directory.GetDirectories(folder):
for file in walk(folder):
yield file
folder = IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(__file__)
print folder
myfiles = list(walk(IO.Path.Combine(folder, 'STDLIB')))
clr.CompileModules(Combine(folder,".\StdLib.dll"), *myfiles)
