Re: [Tutor] file/subprocess error
Essah Mitges e_mit...@hotmail.com wrote But will it work I run 3 module for this game utilites is just 1 It doesn't matter how many modules you use, although it changes how many you have to import maybe. But in princiople if your game is started by calling a single function then you only need to import the module with that function. BTW You still haven't answered the question: Does a file C:\Users\John Doe\Desktop\WODDS\WODDS\gamelib\data\up-1.png actually exist? And is it readable by the user running the program?

Essah Mitges e_mit...@hotmail.com wrote So no one is confused about the error i screenshot it Thanks. I am not sure of the problem It says it can't find the file. Does a file C:\Users\John Doe\Desktop\WODDS\WODDS\gamelib\data\up-1.png actually exist? And is it readable by the user running the program? When I run the game outside the menu it works fine Are you running it from the same directory? but when I call it as a child window it start then the modules attached cannnot load the games images which couse this error is there a subprocess command to fix this No, you need to set up the correct environment for the game to run before calling subprocess. However as I and others have pointed out this is almost certainly the wrong way to approach your problem, even if you can get it to work! You would be better putting the game code into a function in Utilities.py and then importing that into your menu module. You can then call the game function using import Utilities # menu code here Utilities.startGame() And so that you can still ru n it as Utilities.py add a clause at the end of IUtilities.py like if __name__ == __main__: startGame() HTH, -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
