I was using python for some application which used to create directories and
also to run some exes using the os.system command from a program.py file
which was working fine. For some reasons I got my system formatted and got
the windows 7 installed.
Now again I installed python and tried running the same program.py. The
program executes successfully with no errors but my directory and exes are
not getting invoked.
I tried creating the below sample program and executed it
#!/usr/bin/env python
import os
global name_wo_ext
name_wo_ext = "d:\\fun"
os.system("mkdir %s" % (name_wo_ext))
This gets executed well but there is no directory created L I tried with
another command as below and it works for me
#!/usr/bin/env python
import os
global name_wo_ext
name_wo_ext = "d:\\fun"
if not os.path.exists("%s\\thumbnail\\" % (name_wo_ext)):
os.makedirs("%s" % (name_wo_ext))
I am not able to find out why os.system is not executing the commands.
Could somebody please help me out in resolving the problem as I have used
os.system enormously in my program.
Thanks and regards,
Vijay R
