I want to execute shell command "objdump" using python for my research work
I have used subprocess.call("command") to execute linux command but its not working.
Sample code which i have tried is
import subprocess
subprocess.call("date")
after the execution
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:\Python27\lib\subprocess.py", line 168, in call
return Popen(*popenargs, **kwargs).wait()
File "C:\Python27\lib\subprocess.py", line 390, in __init__
errread, errwrite)
File "C:\Python27\lib\subprocess.py", line 640, in _execute_child
startupinfo)
WindowsError: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified
You must do this:
subprocess.call('date', shell=True)
Actually, Shell does allow you to access to global variable and programs that are in $PATH and your shell.
Have you tried ?
import subprocess
subprocess.call("date", shell = True)

import subprocess
subprocess.call(['C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe'])
Leads to error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Wing
IDE 101 5.0\src\debug\tserver_sandbox.py", line 3, in
pass File "c:\Python27\Lib\subprocess.py", line 172, in call
return Popen(*popenargs, **kwargs).wait() File "c:\Python27\Lib\subprocess.py", line 408, in init
errread, errwrite) File "c:\Python27\Lib\subprocess.py", line 663, in _execute_child
startupinfo) WindowsError: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified
But I can run Notepad using that exact path from the filename bar of a folder window. What am I missing?
The problem is the unescaped backlashes in your path. Python interprets '\n' as a single newline character.
Either escape the backslashes:
'C:\\Windows\\System32\\notepad.exe'
Or (preferred) use a raw string with an r prefix:
r'C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe'
Here's the code that might work for you
subprocess.Popen(['C:\\Windows\\System32\\notepad.exe'])
I am trying to get the output of Cell.all() function from the wifi module but it shows:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "yea.py", line 3, in <module>
cell = Cell.all('wlp0s20u2')
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wifi/scan.py", line 39, in all
stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 212, in check_output

errread, errwrite)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1024, in _execute_child
raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
I have been searching for a fix for a couple of hours now, and everything I found is related to the subprocess module. Is there a way to fix this (pass a shell=True argument) or does anybody know a module similar to wifi that i could use for a simple wifi mapping script?
P.S. If it is relevant I'm using Solus 3 linux distro.
I am new to python scripting. I am trying to run subprocess methods on Python Idle and getting these errors:
import subprocess
subprocess.check_output("ls")
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "C:\Users\ramakrishna\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\lib\subprocess.py", line 990, in _execute_child
startupinfo)
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified
Please help me out to resolve this error.
Thank you
seems like you are running windows. Windows has no "ls" command, so you get a FileNotFoundError exception. I am not familiar with windows and python, but try "dir" instead of "ls", that should work.
I'm using subprocess to execute a Python script called trace.py that is located in a different folder. The script trace.py then uses subprocess to run a traceroute command and then prints the output. When I go to the folder that trace.py is located in and type this in the terminal:
python trace.py
or
./trace.py
or from any location:
python /home/.../cgi-bin/trace.py
it works fine and the traceroute is printed to the terminal. However, when I try to execute trace.py from main.py by using subprocess, it doesn't seem to work. I've tested this by creating test.py and using subprocess to execute it from main.py and this works. I do this with the following:
output = subprocess.check_output([sys.executable, script_path])
Where script_path is the absolute path to trace.py.
The full error I get is this (paths are shortened):
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/.../cgi-bin/trace.py", line 11, in <module>
traceroute = subprocess.check_output(["traceroute", "www.google.com"])
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 566, in check_output
process = Popen(stdout=PIPE, *popenargs, **kwargs)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 710, in __init__
errread, errwrite)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1327, in _execute_child
raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 97, in <module>
serve(args.port, public_html, cgibin)
File "main.py", line 55, in serve
process = subprocess.check_output(["/usr/bin/python", script_path])
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 573, in check_output
raise CalledProcessError(retcode, cmd, output=output)
subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['/usr/bin/python', '/home/.../cgi-bin/trace.py']' returned non-zero exit status 1
Why does this not work, but executing it from the terminal does?
The child can't find traceroute executable.
Compare os.environ['PATH'] in your shell with the value within runnning trace.py
Check file permissions -- whether it is readable and executable by the user that runs trace.py.
I have a python script. On top of the script "from subprocess import call". If I write "call(["whoami"])" in the script and I execute the Python script from the unix command line it works, my username returns. But if I run a proprietary command with arguments, "call(["mi_xx", "-s", "20141215","-e","20150121","-p",'TX%_XX%',"-f","test","-i","-x","-d"])"
I get the error below. I run the same command directly in unix and it works. I have searched up and down. The python environment in unix is fine.
