I am right now in the same directory in which the file "lookup.csv" is residing.
I have tried following commands in Python 2.7:
import subprocess
subprocess.Popen("lookup.csv", shell = True)
The above is producing the following error:
lookup.csv : not found
I have double-checked for the working directory, tried lot of available troubleshooting options given in StakExchange, tried the same in Windows (and surprisingly it was working there), what more can I do?
There's no reason why this should work on Windows because lookup.csv clearly is a file which you want to open with open whereas subprocess.Popen creates a new process for working with the lookup.csv binary. Maybe Windows handles process failure differently.

I have a CodeDeploy which deploys application on Windows instances. I have a Python script which is running as part of ValidateService hooks. Below is the code I have in that script:
print("hello")
So, I have removed everything and just printing hello as part of this script. When this script is called by CodeDeploy I get below error:
My appspec.yml file:
...
ValidateService:
- location: scripts/verify_deployment.py
timeout: 900
I tried getting some help on Google but got nothing. Can someone please help me here.
Thanks
As Marcin already answered in a comment, I don't think you can simply run python scripts in CodeDeploy. At least not natively.
The error you see means that Windows does not know how to execute the script you have provided. AFAIK Windows can't run python natively (like most linux distros can).
I am not very accustomed to CodeDeploy, but given the example at https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-codedeploy-samples/tree/master/applications/SampleApp_Windows, I think you have to install python first.
After so much of investigations, I found my answer. The issue is little misleading, there is nothing to do with Code format or ENOEXEC. The issue was due to Python path. While executing my script, CodeDeploy was unable to find Python (Though I had already added python.exe in Environment variable path).
Also, I found that CodeDeploy is unable to execute .py file due to Python path issue. So, I created a PowerShell script and invoking Python script from there. Like below:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\python.exe C:\Users\<username>\Documents\verify_deployment.py
It executed Python script successfully and gave me below output:
hello
I am trying to compile a .tex file in a Python script using pdflatex. The command pdflatex filename.tex works when I run it from the command line on Windows. However, attempting to run os.system("pdflatex filename.tex") just spits out 1 into the Python console and does not compile a pdf. I've also tried putting in the full file path similar to this person solved their problem but the same thing happens. Similarly, subprocess.call(['pdflatex', 'filename.tex']) just outputs a 1 and does not do anything.
It seems someone else has encountered the same problem in this thread, but on Mac instead of Windows. (But regardless of the operating system, they didn't find an answer.)
Why might this be happening?
EDIT: I've just discovered a solution. The script runs successfully (using the os.system approach) when I run the .py file using the command line. Previously I was attempting to run the script from RStudio, both using reticulate::source_python(filename) and also line-by-line via the reticulate REPL. Seems like the problem may actually be coming from R's reticulate package rather than anything to do with Python.
Fortunately RStudio has a terminal window so this doesn't end up being too inconvenient!
Windows cmd does not handle utf8 well when executing print statements in python.
Many people said that we can type in "chcp 65001" before executing the python script in the cmd.
In our situation, we want to implement an app (in python pyc) with a desktop icon in Windows.
Thus our first solution is adding os.system("chcp 65001") to the source python script before the main function.
But somehow this did not work. Then some people said trying os.system("/k chcp 65001").
But this did not work either.
Our second soluiton is using a bat file with two lines, the first line is "chcp 65001" while the second is "python my.pyc" where my.pyc is main program of our app.
But this solution seems inconsistent since in some environment it failed while in others, it did not fail.
Moreover, with this solution, Windows does not allow us to change the logo (or icon image) of bat file.
Can someone help us solve this problem with cmd and utf8 with python scripts?
I've written a script to rename my photos according to the date they were recorded. It runs on mac and uses the CLI exiftool by phil harvey.
The command that create problem is the following:
os.popen("exiftool " + file path)
I wrote the script using Pycharm CE. I used the exiftool because it yielded the best results and was the easiest to use at the time. With the command mentioned above, I got all the metadata nicely formatted by the exiftool and it only needed to be separated and put in a list. I tried everything in the console of Pycharm CE before I wrote the script.
The script and the console of Pycharm both worked fine. However, I tried recently to run the script with the IDLE from python. The script failed because the return from the console was always an empty string. Upon further research I used the subprocess.run()method. The error was
CompletedProcess(args='exiftool PATH', returncode=127, stdout=b'', stderr=b'/bin/sh: exiftool: command not found\n')
The output was also empty.
My questions are now:
Why does the Console and the interpreter of Pycharm CE find the exiftool but the console and the IDLE of python don't?
Is there a way to include the installation location of the exiftool so it is found by the os.popen() / subprocess.run() methods in the IDLE and the console?
Many thanks for your help

At your command prompt, type which exiftool to find the full path to the executable. Then, instead of just calling exiftool in your Python script, use the full path.
Turns out, using which exiftool was indeed the solution.
I deinstalled python, reinstalled the newer version and tried the fix, proposed in the comment. (Using said command in Terminal and calling the command with the full path) It worked in the IDLE once I installed Python 3.7. I ran previously Python 2.7 on my MacBook.
I still don't understand why 2.7 wouldn't work.
Anyway thanks for the tip.
So, I am following a simple tutorial "Python Tutorial: Automate Parsing and Renaming of Multiple Files" and am already encountering a problem where os.chdir() is not working. I am on a Windows 10 system, running python 3.6, and I have tried using both my regular terminal (which has cygwin installed) and bash on ubuntu on Windows.
Here is the code:
import os
print(os.getcwd())
os.chdir('c:/Users/Michelle Kaiser/Desktop/Lab_Progs/PI3Kalpha')
print(os.getcwd())
Here is the reg terminal:
C:\Users\Michelle Kaiser\Desktop\Lab_Progs>python rename.py
C:\Users\Michelle Kaiser\Desktop\Lab_Progs
C:\Users\Michelle Kaiser\Desktop\Lab_Progs>`
The path that it is returning corresponds to the folder my program is located in. I have moved the program 3 times to verify this. Also, it's obviously returning a path only once, so it's probably not responding to the 2 print statements.
Here is the bash terminal:
mkaiser#ZIPPY:/mnt/c/Users/Michelle Kaiser/Desktop/Lab_Progs$ python rename.py
/mnt/c/Users/Michelle Kaiser/Desktop/Lab_Progs
mkaiser#ZIPPY:/mnt/c/Users/Michelle Kaiser/Desktop/Lab_Progs$
I also tried running the code with os.path.exists(), which did not change the output on either terminal. I have definitely double checked that I am saving my program file from one test to the next. Thanks.
I've been trying to change a file that has no whitespace.
It seems like this person has a similar problem:
Python reading whitespace-separated file lines as separate lines
