How to run an external python script in my Django view

[raman....@gmail.com]

Hi,

I have a script which is running fine and giving output in the form of list of lists. I want to use that data in my Django view. I am not getting, how to run a script in django view.

I created a folder utils inside which, I have put the script. Also, I have created __init__.py in the utils folder. Then, I am importing it in my views as "from utils.scriptname import classname". I'm struggling in that from long and appreciate help.

Thanks

What happens when you invoke the script?

Thanks Larry for the reply. Nothing is happening after invoking the script(I think, I am doing something wrong in using the python script in Django views). I have tried running the script separately which is working fine and giving the output.

How you call your script in the view? You said that is import as from utils.scriptname import classname but what method do you call in the view.

Remember, all code in script file that are not in a function o class will execute at import time.

I guest you have something like

def my_view(request):
   ....
   classname.mfuction()
   ....

I would set a breakpoint with pdb in the view and then run the django
devel server and when you hit the bp step into the invocation of your
script and see what happens.
