Bash Function in .profile is not running SimpleHTTPServer - file not found - python

So I have a simple bash function stored in ~/.profile as follows:
function testingServer() {
local port="${1:-8000}"
python SimpleHTTPServer "$port"
open "http://localhost:${port}/"
}
But when I run the function, it gives me this error:
python: can't open file 'SimpleHTTPServer': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
Which to me seems strange, since everything works fine when I run the command longhand like this:
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080
Any clue as to what I can do to try to chase this down?

Aren't you just missing the -m argument when you invoke Python? Add that in and it should work.
function testingServer() {
local port="${1:-8000}"
python -m SimpleHTTPServer "$port"
open "http://localhost:${port}/"
}
It's correct that SimpleHTTPServer is not a file (especially not one in your local directory). But the -m indicates it's a module, and therefore how/where to find it.
Whether this is precisely what you want/need to do from a testing perspective is another matter. But at least you can get rid of the can't open file error.

File not found error in python despite file existing

I'm modifying a pre-commit hook to check for config files that are being committed.
In my pre-commit I am running a python script. This script uses sp.run() to run any necessary bash commands.
Before, I could run the command in my pre-commit (outside of the python script) as
$SVNLOOK cat -t "$TXN" "$REPOS" /cfg/cfg.goto.lib.dev.yaml > /var/www/svn/repo/hooks/scripts/temp_cfg.yaml
This would work fine and would send the contents of the incoming config file to a temp file for parsing.
When I try to run this same command inside of an sp.run() statement, it fails and gives me a file not found error. I've tried prepending my statement with
/usr/bin/svnlook cat -t sys.argv[1] sys.argv[2] /cfg/cfg.goto.lib.dev.yaml > /var/www/svn/repo/hooks/scripts/temp_cfg.yaml
no luck there either.
Any idea why python doesn't think this file exists?

How to run bash commands from Python preferably with the os library?

I am trying to run the following python script named test.py. It contains multiple bash commands which I would like to execute in a Linux terminal (unix). This is the content of the file:
import os
os.system('echo install virtualenv')
os.system('sudo pip install virtualenv')
os.system('echo create virtual environment')
os.system('virtualenv my_virtualenvironment')
os.system('echo activate virtual environment')
os.system('source my_virtualenvironment/bin/activate')
I am running the Python script using the following in the terminal:
python3 test.py
The problem that I have is that the commands do not run the same way as they would on a Linux terminal. The output is the following error when trying to execute the last line of the Python script:
sh: 1: source: not found
The last command source my_virtualenvironment/bin/activate normally runs fine if I execute it directly in the terminal (without my Python script). Now, what does sh: 1: mean and why does it not work with my code? I would expect to get something starting with bash: .
Also I have found this solution, but I would like not to use lists for executing commands and maybe even to stick with the os library (if there is a simpler solution without os, I am also open for that):
https://stackoverflow.com/a/62355400/11535508
source is a bash built-in command, not an executable.
Use the full path to the python interpreter in your commands instead of venv activation, e.g. os.system('<venv>/bin/python ...').
The second option is to write your commands into a separate bash script and call it from python:
os.system('bash script.sh')

Run Python script using virtualenv

I have a python script named utils (note without any .py extension). Where I have some utility functions. The path is also added in PATH variable.
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import click, sys
#main.command('echo', context_settings=dict(help_option_names=['-h', '--help']))
def echo_test():
click.echo("Hello World")
sys.exit(0)
It works fine. Now I can run from anywhere utils echo.
I am trying to make the script to use virtualenv instead of the global python. I have tried
#!/path/to/venv/bin python3
import click, sys
Then it throws me error permission denied
Permissions for utils file are -rwxr-xr-x
Any idea how could I use venv with script.
If your code is pasted correctly, your problem is that you are trying to execute a directory with your she-bang, not Python, because you have a space rather than a slash as a separator:
#!/path/to/venv/bin python3
rather than:
#!/path/to/venv/bin/python3
EDIT: By the way, is there a reason you want to change the code and not just activate the virtual environment, like it's supposed to be used?
If you want to do it, you can just:
$ source path/to/venv/bin/activate<.optional_extension>
You need the optional extension if you use a shell other than Bash (probably other Bourne-like shells too).
Try changing the file permissions via this command:
chmod 755
chmod -R 755 on the /usr/lib/python/site-packages/virtualenv
or even
chmod +x
Suggest you read the man page for chmod by using this command
man chmod
if you are not sure.

cannot compile cpp files under the python pyc script file

I am trying to compile & execute my hw cpp file under the python script file which we are given by lecturer. the how-to-manual.pdf he sent us it says use:
c:\>python ./submit.pyc problemID -u username -p password -b //submit.pyc is already given to us
and here is the manifest.txt we are given:
[main]
problem = gc
build =
g++ main.cpp -o solver
run =
./solver %f
my cpp file works normally like this:
./solver input_file
However, I am trying (I have to) to do this under the windows OS. I have Python 2.7.x installed and python.exe is in the Command PATH. I can't run it under the linux ssh sytem because there is 2.4.x python installed and I can't touch it (school's system).
Anyway, when I execute the line above, it returns me:
Command execution failed:
g++ solver.cpp -o solver
I think I told everything I can. So, any idea that what I have to do else? except asking to lecturer:)
For the above to work it needs to be able to find g++ so you need to add the directory that it resides in to the PATH environment variable. This can be done from within your python script or on the command line with:
path=Where\g++\lives;%path%
This will only apply within the current DOS session.
Or you can add it permanenty through system settings->advanced settings->environmental variables
You could also look at using a python virtual environments on the schools linux system.

Shell : workon not found [duplicate]

So, once again, I make a nice python program which makes my life ever the more easier and saves a lot of time. Ofcourse, this involves a virtualenv, made with the mkvirtualenv function of virtualenvwrapper. The project has a requirements.txt file with a few required libraries (requests too :D) and the program won't run without these libraries.
I am trying to add a bin/run-app executable shell script which would be in my path (symlink actually). Now, inside this script, I need to switch to the virtualenv before I can run this program. So I put this in
#!/bin/bash
# cd into the project directory
workon "$(cat .venv)"
python main.py
A file .venv contains the virtualenv name. But when I run this script, I get workon: command not found error.
Of course, I have the virtualenvwrapper.sh sourced in my bashrc but it doesn't seem to be available in this shell script.
So, how can I access those virtualenvwrapper functions here? Or am I doing this the wrong way? How do you launch your python tools, each of which has its own virtualenv!?
Just source the virtualenvwrapper.sh script in your script to import the virtualenvwrapper's functions. You should then be able to use the workon function in your script.
And maybe better, you could create a shell script (you could name it venv-run.sh for example) to run any Python script into a given virtualenv, and place it in /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, or any directory which is in your PATH.
Such a script could look like this:
#!/bin/sh
# if virtualenvwrapper.sh is in your PATH (i.e. installed with pip)
source `which virtualenvwrapper.sh`
#source /path/to/virtualenvwrapper.sh # if it's not in your PATH
workon $1
python $2
deactivate
And could be used simply like venv-run.sh my_virtualenv /path/to/script.py
I can't find the way to trigger the commands of virtualenvwrapper in shell. But this trick can help: assume your env. name is myenv, then put following lines at the beginning of scripts:
ENV=myenv
source $WORKON_HOME/$ENV/bin/activate
This is a super old thread and I had a similar issue. I started digging for a simpler solution out of curiousity.
gnome-terminal --working-directory='/home/exact/path/here' --tab --title="API" -- bash -ci "workon aaapi && python manage.py runserver 8001; exec bash;"
The --workingdirectory forces the tab to open there by default under the hood and the -ci forces it to work like an interactive interface, which gets around the issues with the venvwrapper not functioning as expected.
You can run as many of these in sequence. It will open tabs, give them an alias, and run the script you want.
Personally I dropped an alias into my bashrc to just do this when I type startdev in my terminal.
I like this because its easy, simple to replicate, flexible, and doesn't require any fiddling with variables and whatnot.
It's a known issue. As a workaround, you can make the content of the script a function and place it in either ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile
function run-app() {
workon "$(cat .venv)"
python main.py
}
If your Python script requires a particular virtualenv then put/install it in virtualenv's bin directory. If you need access to that script outside of the environment then you could make a symlink.
main.py from virtualenv's bin:
#!/path/to/virtualenv/bin/python
import yourmodule
if __name__=="__main__":
yourmodule.main()
Symlink in your PATH:
pymain -> /path/to/virtualenv/bin/main.py
In bin/run-app:
#!/bin/sh
# cd into the project directory
pymain arg1 arg2 ...
Apparently, I was doing this the wrong way. Instead of saving the virtualenv's name in the .venv file, I should be putting the virtualenv's directory path.
(cdvirtualenv && pwd) > .venv
and in the bin/run-app, I put
source "$(cat .venv)/bin/activate"
python main.py
And yay!
add these lines to your .bashrc or .bash_profile
export WORKON_HOME=~/Envs
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
and reopen your terminal and try
You can also call the virtualenv's python executable directly. First find the path to the executable:
$ workon myenv
$ which python
/path/to/virtualenv/myenv/bin/python
Then call from your shell script:
#!/bin/bash
/path/to/virtualenv/myenv/bin/python myscript.py
