I have a Raspberry Pi running Linux. My plan is that I can plug in a USB in the robot and have and it will run the python files. the reason I chose this method is that it allows for easy editing and debugging of the scripts.
Is there a way to execute my files when the USB is inserted?
Try to use os.path.exists to detect whether the pendrive is there in an infinite loop and when detected execute code on pendrive using os.system and break out of loop .

Looks like you should consider writing a script that navigates to the directory of the file and runs "python yourscript.py". The details on getting the script to autorun are there.

I've created a simple script that executes a "moving mouse and keyboard" sequence. Although currently to get this to work I use a Shell (Idle) to run and that is to slow with boot up time and such.
Is there a way to have this python file on desktop och with a hotkey swiftly run the code? I tried doing it through terminal but it doesn't like my module.
Some info:
This is for both mac and windows.
The module I imported is pyautogui from PyPi and it works in the shell.
Thank you in advance!
Some things to consider when trying to setup a hotkey to successfully execute any kind of command:
Each Operating System has its own ways to setup hotkeys and sometimes this may differ between distributions as well as between desktop managers.
Many of the relevant how-to-descriptions are easily found via regular search machines as Google.
If you would in fact like your script to set-up its own hotkeys you would have to re-write it in such a manner that it can detect the current operating system/distribution/desktop manager by itself and execute the commands relevant to that particular set-up.
I'm trying to automate some stuff I would otherwise have to do manually, so I can run one python script instead of taking a whole bunch of steps. I want to find a way to run a Talend job from the python script.
How do I accomplish this? Is it even possible?
Oops! sorry.
From the Studio, build the job to get an autonomous job you can launch from command line.
Extract the files from the generated archive.
Search for folder "script/yourJobname".
Check the syntax from one of the .bat or .sh depending of which one you prefer.
Launch the jar file using subprocess.call (or other way to execute a jar file from Python).
Hope this helps.TRF
As soon as you can run a Python script from command line, you should be able to run it from Talend using tSystem component.
I am new to Rundeck, so I apologize if I ask a question that probably has an obvious answer I'm overlooking.
I've installed Rundeck on my Windows PC. I've got a couple of Python scripts that I want to execute via Rundeck.
The scripts run fine when I execute them manually.
I created a job in Rundeck, created a single step (script file option) to test the python script.
The job failed after six seconds. When I checked the log, it was because it was executing it line by line rather than letting python run it as an entire script.
How do I fix this?
You had to put:
#!/usr/bin/python
or similar, with location to your python binary, as 1st line. To indicate which interpreter to use for whole file.
okay, so I changed the step type to a command rather than script file and it worked.
I guess my understanding of what a script file is was off.
I'm working on a Raspberry Pi project and I have a python script that accepts some serial input and plays sounds depending on the input. I have the script set up and it works just fine when I run it from within the GUI (i.e. startx). If I log out of the GUI and try to run the script from the command line the script executes just fine but my sounds don't play. I just get a momentary static click. I can tell the script is running because I have it printing debug code and the print's work just fine. Is there a way to get the sounds to work from the command line?
I want this script to execute when the Raspberry Pi is turned on without user input which I believe means it will be running from the command line. If there is some reason the sounds simply won't play until the GUI starts up how would I set it up to load the GUI and then execute the script on startup without any user input?
This will be embedded in a prop and will play sounds when some buttons (connected through arduino i.e. serial input) are pressed. So I need a solution that will have it from power on automatically run the script and be able to play the sounds with no keyboard, mouse, or monitor attached.
Turns out it was file path naming. If I have the command line test to the root directory it doesn't work but if I "cd Desktop/containingFolder" then the sounds play. I'll play with how I have the files set up in the python script so it will work.
Updating the path names fixed the issue. I just needed them to be full paths instead of relative ones.
I created a script that will tell me what to wear in the morning based on the weather (i.e. rain slicker if it will rain, heavy jacket if it will be cold, etc). I have fairly basic programming experience with python and the script works perfectly, but I want to be able to create a file that I can just double-click from my desktop and the script will automatically run.
My goal is to be able to simply double click [something] in the morning and it will automatically run the script and thus tell me what to wear. How could I go about doing this?
System Specifications:
python
Mac OSX
This worked for me on Snow Leopard:
-Put the python script on the desktop.
-Right click on the script file, and choose "Get info"
-Find "Open With", and choose "Python Launcher" from the dropdown box
Now double-clicking the script file will run the script in a new terminal window.
I'm not sure what versions of OS X come with the Python Launcher application. If you don't have that, you can solve it with a couple extra steps:
-Put the python script anywhere
-Create a shell script on the desktop with one line:
python "/Users/john/scripts/what-to-wear.py"
(Where I've assumed your script is called what-to-wear.py and is in /Users/john/scripts. Be aware that you do need to use an absolute path.)
-Make the shell script executable. In a terminal:
chmod 755 what-to-wear-shell-script
-Double clicking the shell script should run it in a terminal, running your python script.
What you want to do is create an executable file.
I've never used a Mac or Python, but look at this question and the first answer:
How can I create a directly-executable cross-platform GUI app using Python?
Seems http://svn.pythonmac.org/py2app/py2app/trunk/doc/index.html is what you're looking for
Use a batch file to make it automatic
Example :
1. Open Notepad -> type the following.
This one's for Windows..It might give you a hint
:start
C:\Python34\python.exe(your python file location)Your *.py file location.
:end
Save this with a *.bat extension
That's it ..you can configure more on this batch,I guess batch is the automation for day to day script
In Linux/unix based OS , add #!/usr/bin/python3 line on top of your script file with extension .py , if you have python version 3. Or change it to the version installed in the machine
Further , make the file executable by
sudo chmod +x <fileName>
for windows, add windows python path and make the file executable
You want the script to download the weather information online and output the clothes based on your predefined rules?
If this is the case, use urllib to download the page and do some ad hoc parsing over the downloaded html page to get the whether information. And write your logic using nested IF THEN ELSE blocks.
