Re: [web2py] Using Spawn in Web2Py with Web2Py Python Implementation

[Phyo Arkar]

what do you mean by web2py's python interpreter?

web2py do not have its own intepreter. it runs on Python interpreter.

You will like to look for web2py's built-in cron documentation.

And do not use old/depreciated os.spawn if its possible to upgrade your
python to 2.7 , use subprocess.Popen

[web2py] Using Spawn in Web2Py with Web2Py Python Implementation

[james c.]

At irregular intervals I need to cleanup files written by my
application for users. In the documentation it was suggested that one
of the possibilities is to launch a script to do this. I'm doing the
following from my controller and it works fine:

os.spawnl(os.P_NOWAIT, r'C:\Python25\python.exe', 'python',
'clean_up.py '+the_path);


Is there a way I can do the same and use Web2Py's Python interpreter?

thanks in advance for any advice, James
