I am trying to run a GAMS file from a python file. I am using vscode on a macbook.
So far, I have been able to open the desired GAMS file from Python using subprocess. To do this I have used the following block of code:
import subprocess
subprocess.run(['open', "/Users/tk/GAMS/sim.gms"], check=True)
However, it just opens the GAMS file but does not execute it. I need to execute the GAMS file and after the GAMS execution is complete, the python program should continue.
How do I do this? Any help is much appreciated.
PS. There is a tutorial on GAMS, but I could not understand it as it seemed too complex to me.
I've never used gams but after a quick look at www.gams.com it sounds like /Users/tk/GAMS/sim.gms is not the file to be executed but the input file to be given as argument to the gams executable.

So you should try something like :
import subprocess
subprocess.run(['/opt/gams/gams24.3_linux_x64_64_sfx/gams', '/Users/tk/GAMS/sim.gms'], check=True)
Notice : there is a GAMS python API which could give you a more portable solution.

I edited my question, hope it is described better now.
I am working on a software that gives me a nice PDF with lots of matplotlib graphics, depending on the data I get.
So think of a database of pages and then the software decides which pages are chosen and filled with changed images, The text stays the same.
So for instance for data1 I get page1-4 and page7 and page 9. For data2 I get page1-4 and page6. Saved as PDF. I am doing this manually with Quark which needs to be changed. I hope I can figure out the scripting to do so.
But for starters I cant start scribus from the developing enviroment. Eclipse Anaconda on Ubuntu.
import subprocess
subprocess.run('scribus')
works fine in terminal, but gives me an error in Eclipse which I cant figure out.
File "/home/b256/anaconda3/envs/test/lib/python3.7/site.py", line 178
file=sys.stderr)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
This seems to be some Python 2 error in the site.py file
???? Is this some anaconda python path error ??
It's not really clear to me, what you want to achieve, but you're welcome to have a look at a script of mine:
https://github.com/aoloe/scribus-script-repository/blob/master/imposition/imposition.py
This is probably a bit more complex than what you are trying to achieve:
the script gets started from the terminal,
if it notices that it has not been started from inside of Scribus (the exception on import scribus)...
... it starts Scribus with itself as the Script to be run.
the script runs again, this time from inside of Scribus...
... now there is no exception when importing scribus and the body of the script runs.
Of course, it's simpler if you start a script that launches Scribus with other scripts.
For you the most important line is probably:
call(['scribus', '-g', '-py', sys.argv[0]] + arguments + ['--', file])
It's starting Scribus from Python
with as little GUI as possible (-g) and
launches the script sys.argv[0]
with a few arguments and
after the -- tells Scribus what file to open.
Python : 3.5
PYinstaller : 3.5
Win64
cx_Freeze : 6.0
According to the above information, I have tried to convert Python project to exe but it does not work.
First I have tried pyinstaller but the process throw some error:
After that, I have tried cx_Freeze and it works, but the exe are working on some computer but not on every computer that have same platform.
I don't know what I can do. I looked for google and stackoverflow but there are unsolved problems or I couldn't see the solution.
Later I have tried to change python version but doesn't work again. Computers that have tried to running the exe, have same OS platform, I'm sure.
By the way, if you receive the following cx_Freeze error, resolving like this:
Build\exe.win-amd64-3.7\lib\scipy\spatial\cKDTree.cp37-win_amd64
change to
Build\exe.win-amd64-3.7\lib\scipy\spatial\ckdtree.cp37-win_amd64
Program uses the following modules : tkinter, pydicom, skimage, PIL, cv2, etc.
Primarily Program has 2 page that content code but I made single file for I came across this sentence "It's worth noting that pyinstaller can compile to a single .exe file"
What do you suggest I do? Thanks for your help.
Edit: I have been tried "Auto-py-to-exe" but I got an error (Fatal Error : Failed to execute script")
Edit2: I tried to run outside the anaconda. I think its work. But I'm still testing.
Edit3: I have tried to change python version, GUI was opened another computer but the program is not work properly. the program works on my computer but not on another computers
If you are not able to convert python file to executable format, you can try using auto py-to-exe library.
This library contains a GUI format to convert .py files to .exe
Here you can find auto py-to-exe with usage instructions,

My question: I need to save the output from a SPARC solver (which is currently appearing as text in the terminal) as a variable in my Python code. How can I do this?
Quick note: SPARC is a solver used for ASP (answer-set-programming) files - just mentioning this so that people don't get confused and think I am referring to asp.net.
I am running a Python file and an ASP file (in query mode) simultaneously, in the same terminal, using the command python pythonfile.py | java -jar sparc.jar aspfile.sp. Output from the python file in the form of sys.stdout.write() is being redirected as the input to the SPARC solver; i.e. the text I output becomes the query that is solved using my ASP code. This is working, and generating the output I want, but I can't figure out how to use that output in my Python code.
This is a follow-up to another question I have asked, found here. In that question I was trying to find out how to run an ASP file from my C++ code. I went with option 2 in the answer I was given, and am using redirected stdout with the two files running as separate processes. Please note one major change since the original question: I am now using Python instead of C++.
Further details if required: My Python version is 2.7 and my operating system is Ubuntu 14.04. I don't think it's relevant but, in case it is, you should know that my Python code is also being used to control a Gazebo Turtlebot simulation, and I am using ROS Indigo to run that simulation. I won't post my code unless someone requests it, as I just want an idea of what method I could use (I can't find anything that works on the internet), rather than needing my code debugged / assistance writing it. However I will post below an example of what is output to the terminal when my code runs, as this is the information I am trying to 'capture'.
SPARC V2.52
program translated
?- yes
?- no
It is the answers 'yes' and 'no' that I want to save as variables in my Python file.
SOLUTION:
For anyone wanting to do the same thing, I followed the answer provided by CaptainTrunky.
First I run the command python pythonfile.py | java -jar sparc.jar aspfile.sp > sparc.out, saving the SPARC output to the text file sparc.out.
Then I run python outputParser.py to run a script that prints the contents of the text file, allowing me to check that I'm manipulating the data correctly. The script is very simple:
lines = [line.strip('?- ') for line in open('sparc.out')]
lines = [line.strip('\n') for line in lines]
print lines
You can use python to read from sys.stdin with a script similar to the following (filter.py):
import sys
for line in sys.stdin.readlines():
if line.startswith('?- '):
print line.strip()
Then invoke your pipeline like this:
python pythonfile.py | java -jar sparc.jar aspfile.sp | python filter.py
I would suggest you do dump SPARK output to text file and then to parse it with you tool.
Write a shell script that does it for you:
python pythonfile.py | java -jar sparc.jar aspfile.sp > spark.out
python parse_out.py spark.out
Sorry if my questions are extremely stupid, but I'm quite at a loss while trying to use Python from Ubuntu Linux. My friend installed the Pycharm for me. I can go without using any commands, to files-->Pycharm projects---> click on one project and see the files, which I can open.
But I'm lost as of how to compile and run the files and see the output at this step? The .py files saved before (written with hello world and some really simple ones) are opening, but how can I see the output?
Also, when I go to the programs by files-->Pycharm projects---> file1.py, file 2.py...etc., do we code and run them from the terminal, using the Linux features? If not, how can I do all of the coding and running from the terminal?
Many thanks!!!
I'm not sure what you mean but "how can I do all of the coding and running from the terminal?" you can use nano to edit to code and run the code on the terminal too
see this link to know more about nano : HERE
I have made a small program in Python that involves tkinter, and I made it a pyw file because it has a shortcut on the desktop and I do not want the command prompt to get in the way. I used py2exe following the sentdex tutorial on youtube, and I got an output file, but the output file shows an error and exits before I can read it. The pyw file on its own works fine, but I don't know how to get the exe output file to work correctly.
Information:
Python - 3.4.2;
OS - Windows 8.1;
Folder - Multiple items (photos and audio for the program);
Program - A simple animation in tkinter
If you need the program, tell me and I can upload the folder containing the program.
As far as I understand there is not a version of py2exe for python3.x
You'd be best of going for cx_freeze (Sentdex also has a tutorial on that on that)
