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!
When you say "...the excel file is open thru 3 iterations", what do you
mean? Three iterations of what? You haven't shown us a loop, so it's
not obvious.
How do you know it prints (writes?) to the excel file three times?
Again, there's nothing in the code snippet that would tell you.
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)
This looks plausible, though honestly the execfile makes me feel icky
for unrelated reasons. I repeat, though; this isn't a loop, and my
crystal ball isn't up to telling me how it gets invoked.
FYI: The assetMapping.py runs another module from inside, and it's this module
running from assetMapping that writes to the excel file.
