Hello, I'm having a problem with a try except inside a while loop. The problem I see occuring has to do with an excel file the script tries to write to while the excel file is open. The exception captures and gives an error:
OError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:'C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\Version5.0\\DeviceTrackerReport45.xlsx' This is expected and is not the problem. However, the issue occurs when I close the excel file. As an example, if I run the script and the excel file is open thru 3 iterations, meaning that the script can't write to the excel file until the excel file is closed, then after the excel file is closed the script prints to the excel file 3 times. I don't need it to write to the excel file 3 times. I only need it to write just once. If the excel file is closed before I run the script than it works like its suppose too. I hope I made my case clear. I look forward to some feedback. Any would be greatly appreciated! here is part of the code: connectionResults = None returnResults = InternetQualityTest.connectionTest(connectionResults) if returnResults == True: try: execfile('assetMapping.py') time.sleep(4) sys.exit() except Exception as e: print "error",e time.sleep(20) FYI: The assetMapping.py runs another module from inside, and it's this module running from assetMapping that writes to the excel file. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
