I know I can convert an ipynb file to a .py file with the command jupyter nbconvert --to python file.py --output-dir=/home/path/myfile.py. However, I'd like to create an icon on the top bar that executes this command on the current ipynb file... Something like the following:
Is there any way of doing it? How can I create an icon on the top bar that will execute a python file and send the absolute path of the current file as an argument?
In my case it'd have to run the following command while clicking the icon:
python3 /home/user/convert-file.py "$fileIAmEditing"

I want to convert the following sample python program into an executable file:
import os
print(os.getcwd())
To convert it into an executable I have used Pyinstaller:
pyinstaller app.py --onefile
And the EXE file is getting generated in the dist folder, but when I run it, it launches and immediately closes, and the expected print statement is not even displayed.
What could be the issue?
It does prints the statement, but just after printing it the code ends. You can add input() or use time.sleep(seconds) to make your program wait until you press a key or any particular number of seconds respectivly.
To check if your code(without the advice i have given) prints, start that python file in your command line.
I have tried nearly all solutions in my mind to do this, but the fact is I can't run a python script with modules imported already.
Here's my code for the module cls.py:
import os
def cls():
os.system('cls')
Given below is the code for opening python in cmd:
#echo off
python
pause
What I need is to open the python in the command prompt with the module cls imported. Also, when I try python -m <module> way, it doesn't show any errors, but the program ends.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.
Saw this question related to mine, but it is not my problem: Run python script that imports modules with batch file
I think what you'r looking for is the interactive mode:
-i
When a script is passed as first argument or the -c option is used, enter interactive mode after executing the script or the command
So just use python -i cls.py in your batch file. This would import your Python file and stay in the Python interpreter prompt. You could then just call cls() because it's already imported.
Alternatively, you could set the environment variable PYTHONSTARTUP in your batch file:
If this is the name of a readable file, the Python commands in that file are executed before the first prompt is displayed in interactive mode. The file is executed in the same namespace where interactive commands are executed so that objects defined or imported in it can be used without qualification in the interactive session.
I have written a "random movie suggester" code that will basically read the files of the directory where the .py file is stored and randomly pick one of them and print it out.
My problem is -
How to make .py file simple to run for non-technical person?
(e.g. I tried .bat but i had to hard code the path of the file).
Other solutions ask to install IDEs and run it.
First you have to install python on your computer.
Then you can type in your terminal:
python [the file name or the path to access it]
But I don't think this is what you are looking for...
You can create a .exe file with your python program using the pyinstaller module then running this in your terminal.
pip pyinstaller
pyinstaller --onefile [the name of the file]
The first line installs the module using pip.
The second line will create a .exe file that does exactly the same as your python code.
I suddenly have a problem with file main.py .
I am using pycharm with python version 3.6 from anaconda.
I had a full project that run fine and now the 'main.py' became text file.
If I open a new project and name a new python file as 'main' it automatically turn into text file (any other name remains .py file).
What is the problem?
Is it possible to create a Python Executable file (using PyInstaller or similar) that can in its code access other Python-files stored in a specific folder?
The reason for that it MUST be an Executable is that the script sometimes must be run from computers that has not it's own Python installed. I have no problem creating an executable (with PyInstaller for example) and they work fine. The python script itself loads various kinds of data into a database. But everytime there is a new kind of data that has to be loaded into the database I have to recreate the hole exe-file. I'm looking for a way for the executable to access python-files (with Data Load Instructions) so that the actual pyton load-files can be altered instead of the exe-file.
I have tried to find a solution using this:
import os, time
from subprocess import call
for file in os.listdir('.'):
if file == 'loadInstructions.py':
call(['python', file])
print(file)
cwd = os.getcwd()
print(cwd)
input('To EXIT progran press ENTER.')
time.sleep(3)
It works running it from a python editor but when I turn this into an exe-file it does not. If I creat an exe-file with "call(['python', file])" commented out the rest works which I interpret that the exe-file can find the file in question but not run it.
I would be gratefule for any help.
