Hi All,

I am having trouble finding the method to launch an external python application.
In the attempt below, I get a  "File or directory does not exist " error.
The App.py resides on my Desktop and is definitely in the path I provided.
I wish to launch it in the linux teminal shell.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Cheers

Hi sarpomira,

You may be able to get xdg-open to work for this.

xdg-open will find the correct application to open the file appended to the command.
I use the subroutine below in a module to globally open things like text, html, {office documents} ect.
If you have the appropriate applications installed and registered correctly then it should open any associated file.
  

The xdg family of utilities are quite good and are on 'most' linux installs.

Code (gambas)

1. Public Sub cmdExec_Click()
2.  
3.   Exec ["home/robert/Desktop/App.py"]
4.  
5. End

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Cheers

you have no / at the beginning of the path…

try this..

Gambas has the tools to do this. You need to add the gb.desktop component for this solution.

Thank you all !

This worked for me.


Cheers !
