for file in os.listdir(documentation_directory):

You might be able to do this more succinctly using 
the glob.glob() function...


Just a thought,

Hello,
just for the records:
below is some code that works

### convert all t2t docs in a directory.


#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import os
import subprocess
import fnmatch

documentation_directory = './doc/'

for file in os.listdir(documentation_directory):
if fnmatch.fnmatch(file, '*.t2t'):

### assemble file name
filepath = documentation_directory+file

### run txt2tags
#subprocess.call(['txt2tags', '--target=html', '--toc', 
documentation_directory+file])

subprocess.call(['txt2tags', '--target=html', '--toc', filepath])

When I run the script it exits with the following error message:

Whenever you're running subprocess.call and you see this
error, say to yourself: "Have I passed the command line
as one parameter in a list; or have I passed it as a series
of parameters?" Because I can't remember the number of times
I've made that mistake myself. Basically, subprocess.call expects
either a string or a list of strings as the first param, and
then the second one is the bufsize, an integer. And then there
are others (check the params to subprocess.Popen). You're passing
a string -- your second param -- as the second parameter, and it's
not an integer. So you get a TypeError.

Simple, no?

[Tutor] converting all files in a directory with subprocess

2008-05-08 Thread Tim Michelsen 

Hello,
I am working on a automatic documentation program to convert my txt2tags 
based documentations sources into HTMl files. I want to use txt2tags via 
command line.


Here's my code:

#

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import os
import subprocess
import fnmatch

documentation_directory = './doc/'

for file in os.listdir(documentation_directory):
if fnmatch.fnmatch(file, '*.t2t'):
print file
subprocess.call('txt2tags', '-t html', '--toc')

# END 

When I run the script it exits with the following error message:

 START OUTPUT 
python ./make_documentation.py
index.t2t
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./make_documentation.py", line 12, in 
subprocess.call('txt2tags', '-t html', '--toc')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/subprocess.py", line 444, in call

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/subprocess.py", line 545, in __init__
raise TypeError("bufsize must be an integer")
TypeError: bufsize must be an integer
 END OUTPUT 

I am stuck here. Why would the script not let txt2tags convert every 
file in my directory?

like
txt2tags -t html --toc THEFILE

I already tried

subprocess.call('txt2tags', '-t html', '--toc', file)

But without success.

I'd appreciate any pointer here.

Thanks and regards,
Timmie
