Write to datbase in a spawn python call

Hi,

I am using spawn to execute many python background processes. How do I include the Lianja modules in the python script so that it can write back to the tables?

Thanks

Herb

ps - my environment variable is set to c:\lianja\scriptinglanguages\ptyhon. So it is using the Lianja install of Python.

Hi Herb,

You can run.

lianjaruntime filename.ext

where ext can be .dbo, .py, .php or .js.

So you should spawn the runtime which has python embedded.

Hi Barry,

This works for me when spawning just the python call.

---

python.exe c:\lianja\apps\matchbackmain\generate_file.py D:\\buffys2ep20\\test36\\jpg\

But I am not sure how to call the runtime properly to get it to work. I am calling it like this

Quote:

---

lianjaruntime.exe c:\lianja\apps\matchbackmain\generate_file.py D:\\buffys2ep20\\test36\\jpg\

---

I have also tried like this.

Quote:

---

lianjaruntime.exe --kiosk c:\lianja\apps\matchbackmain\generate_file.py --args D:\\buffys2ep20\\test36\\jpg\

I think I am missing something.

Thanks

Herb

Hi Herb

https://www.lianja.com/doc/index.php..._Line_Switches

You may need to use

lianjaruntime —file filename.ext

Hi Herb,

When you spawn the python interpreter how are you referencing the args?

In Lianja 4.1.2 this now all works as expected.

lianja --file c:\lianja\apps\matchbackmain\generate_file.py --args "'D:\\buffys2ep20\\test36\\jpg\'"
or
lianjaruntime --file c:\lianja\apps\matchbackmain\generate_file.py --args "'D:\\buffys2ep20\\test36\\jpg\'"

Here is an example:

lianja --file barry.py --args "'hello\sthere',1234,'bye'"

and the file barry.py:

Code:

---

if __name__ == "__main__":
    print sys.argv

---

The output is:

['barry.py', 'hello there', 1234, 'bye']

Note that spaces in the --args list need to be escaped as \s or  

Thanks Barry!
