I am trying to call a python program which just sends me a text on my phone from a Sikuli script.I am a beginner and my goal is to receive a text when a certain loop is finished, but I don't know how to call on it from the Sikuli script. This is a small part of my code from Sikuli so far.
while (something):
if (randomThing):
something = False
subprocess.Popen("python SendSMS.py")
I get an OS error saying no such file or directory. Is there a better way to do this? or what am I doing wrong here? I am using Mac.
subprocess.Popen() will look for SendSMS.py in same directory but if your script is not in that directory you will get find not found error which is totally expected. As a fix you will need to provide whole path to your script instead of just python SendSMS.py replace it with python /home/my_user/SendSMS.py and check if it works.

I'm a beginner in Python with no prior programming experience, so bear with me here.
I installed Python, started playing with it (typing variables, playing with math operations) in the Shell window and everything is fine. I open a New Window and started writing a simple script. Something like this:
print (1+1)
I press Run Module, and I am asked to name and save the script first. I do so by calling it firstscript.py, and save it to my desktop.
Now I press Run Module, and in the shell window 2 is printed on the screen. Everything is fine. I close Python, and open it up again. Now in the shell window, I type firstscript.py and I get the red message NameError: name 'firstscript' is not defined.
I can run my program only if I open the script file on my desktop and press Run Module from there, but if I try to start it up directly in IDLE Shell by typing its name, I get the error message.
What did I do wrong? Thank you.
Good to see that you are starting with python.
Firstly, you can run the file directly using 'Run Module' only when you have the file open. Once you save the file and quit, you are out of the file editor and back to the terminal.
Simply typing in firstscripty.py will not work as it does not recognize the command.
To run the file from the terminal, use the below code:
python [locationOfFile\]firstscript.py
You can check out this detailed explanation: https://realpython.com/python-idle/#how-to-work-with-python-files
The problem here is the Shell doesnt know that your firstscript.py is sitting on the desktop
The simplest way i suggest using cmd with:
python C:\Users\{your user}\Desktop\firstscript.py
I am trying to run Test.py using os.system(path) where I specify the path of the file but I am getting an error. Basically, I want to run Test.py from here and display the output.
import os
os.system(rf"C:\\Users\\USER\\OneDrive-Technion\\Research_Technion\\Python_PNM\\Sept15_2022\\220\\1\\Test.py")
The error is
The system cannot find the path specified.
you are passing a python file, not an executable. You can pass python yourfile.py.
By the way, I would reconsider what you are doing, executing a python script from another python script is quite strange.
I am running a program darknet.py from within my ubuntu terminal by typing python3 darknet.py.
It works perfectly and now I am trying to include it in my own program. But when I call it I get errors. I am not sure what is causing this.
I have already included #!usr/bin/env python3 but no luck.
I am trying to call it with os.systems('/home/bob/DarknetAB/darknet/darknet.py')
The errors I get are as follows
from:cant read /var/mail/cytpes
import -im6.q16: not authorized math#error/constitute.c/writeImage1037
I don't know get why it would work from terminal, but not when I call it from another file?
Did you try to do the following?
import darknet
This is a guess, but it sounds like it could be trying to read your python script like a bash one instead. What about
os.system('python3 /home/bob/DarknetAB/darknet/darknet.py')
My terminal is running python 2 so when I run my python file the program fails.
So basically I am new to programming and trying to create a small python script to help me auto create folders. I also want to give the script to colleges so that they can use it on their systems too.
I know that I can run my file in terminal by using "python3 myfile.py" and it will work, but that's too much off a mission to do for my colleges and as my colleges are not familiar with code or terminal for that matter, I wanted to create an executable file so that they just click to open type a few answers to the promoted question and boom folders created.
This is where I run into a problem, I have "#!/usr/bin/env python3" at the top of my file but when I run the script IDLE opens up and it just shows the code I have written but doesn't seem to run the actual script I wrote. Am I doing something wrong?
I also then though perhaps I could just use the terminal to run the file as it is now executable, so I go into terminal and enter "myfile.py" and the program runs but in python 2 so my script fails as it is in python3. So another question would be is there a way to code into my python file, when running this file make sure you use python3? as I would want this to work on all colleges system without them having to write out anything in terminal?
Sorry for the long explanation but any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance
When you are on windows you can just create a .bat file where you write: python3 myfile.py in it.
Both files have to be in the same directory.
If you want to have a .exe you can also use py2exe.
You could also try just #!/usr/bin/python3 without env.

Error with Subprocess addition
This is the error I get regarding the abaqus module
I'm quite new to python and so please don't mind if this question might seem silly.
So I have python file that does the function of opening an abaqus viewer and I have another python file that describes the functions I want to do in the abaqus viewer.
I need a piece of code that can automate the second script without me having to manually go into file>run script.
Script to Open Abaqus:
import os
import subprocess
os.startfile('Q:/win_apps/scripts/simulia/Abaqus/6.14-3/Use_these_if_not_working/abq6143_viewer.bat')
And then I have a python script that has the code regarding my output requests from abaqus viewer.
What line can I add to the above file to automatically take the second python script and run it?
When running Abaqus with the typical start up scripts you can pass Abaqus/Viewer a script to run from the command line:
abq6143 viewer noGUI=script.py
where you replace script.py with the name of your Python script. This will start up Abaqus/Viewer with no user interface, run the script, and then quit.
If you want the user interface to come up and automatically run your script you can use the script= command instead of noGUI:
abq6143 viewer script=script.py
I see that you're using a custom batch file to start up Abaqus/Viewer. Without seeing those contents I couldn't say exactly how you would integrate the above, but you will probably need to adjust the relevant line in the batch file with the noGUI or script command.
