Help related executing system command from django

[Malhar Vora]

Hello,

I am executing a python script from django as described below.

def executeScript(request):
    '''
    View to execute script from web interface
    '''
    print "Execute script view called"
    basepath =  os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
    filepath = basepath + os.path.sep + "script" + os.path.sep + "dataintegrator.py"
    argpath = basepath + os.path.sep + "script" + os.path.sep + "urls.txt"
    print "FilePath : " + filepath
    print "ArgPath : " + argpath

    test = subprocess.call(["python", filepath, argpath])
    print "###########Result of execution is : " + str(test)
    return HttpResponseRedirect("webadmin")

Here in above code, dataintegrator.py is a script that I am executing from django web. Now code in a script opens a file called "maps.txt" which is also in same directory as dataintegrator.py. When I execute script from command line it can read file but execution from web interface gives exception.

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'maps.txt'

Even the maps.txt file exists in same directory and script runs fine from command line than what is the problem with web interface. Anyone knows the solution ?

Regds,

Hi Malhar.

I suggest you to post your question in the django-users mailing list. This mailing list is for the development of Django itself.

Thank you,

The django-users list can be found at <http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/>.

The #django IRC channel on IRC (on irc.freenode.net) is also very helpful.
