how can i do the following:
1- run a C program from a python script
2- pass that C program an argument
3- Read the out of the program into a buffer that is local to the script

thanks

in addition to the other approaches:
if you want only a few specific lines of c you can inline the code.
google for scipy, weave, inline and python

hello, i'm fairly new to python programming and programming in general, but i have written a python prog that creates a MIDI file (.mid) and I want to be able to play it from another prog which is written in BASIC. It's a command-line prog that takes the MIDI filename as a parameter and plays the file. The 'Learning Python' book talks about using the os.system call, but I haven't been able to get this to work. How can I run this other...

Is there a way to limit both width and height of a canvas text item? My current workaround seems clumsy: import Tkinter as tk root = tk.Tk() canvas = tk.Canvas(root, width=400, height=200, bg="white") canvas.pack() # simulate a clipped text item - never transparent :-( s = "The long and winding road.."

Hey, Can anyone give me a snippet for running a python program over all the files in the directory. For ex: I have ten files in a directory and I want to run a python program against all of these files, I wish to do the same using another python code instead of running each of these files one by one, which would be cumbersome giving the argv of each file every single time. This can be easily done using a shell script but I just...

I'm running a monitoring script under linux written in python. It's nohup'ed so that I can log out and it will continue running happily and so on, but sometimes I need to kill the script before editing the source and relaunching it. Question is, what's the nicest way to kill the python process under linux? Is a simple 'kill ' the nicest way to do it, or is there a different signal I should send it? ta alex

Hello All, I am helping someone write a python script to run their DOS application through an SSH terminal. It seems that this program wants to access a DOS shell and send output there. If running remotely, this causes a problem because it locks up the program. The program seems (to me) to be looking for some non-existant DOS shell to send its output to. How might I emulate this shell (or whatever it is) with python? I have tried...

If I want to write my code in a separate text editor (I like UltraEdit) but then press a single button to have that code run in the IDLE environment, is that possible? I know that you can configure UE to run external tools, but I can't figure out how to run IDLE this way, because when I check on its properties to find it's file path, it is just the Python directory itself. So not only do I not know where to find the actual file to run...

Hello, I would like to know if there is a way to run a Python file under a different user account than the one logged in. Allow me to explain. There are a bunch of people here, they are "basic user", with limited permissions. Basically there are locations on the network where they can only read and execute files, but no way to write. Now, if these users want to write or modify files and directories,

Hi, I'm new to python and looking for a better idiom to use for the manner I have been organising my python scripts. I've googled all over the place about this but found absolutely nothing. I'm a linux/unix command line guy quite experienced in shell scripts etc. I have a heap of command line utility scripts which I run directly. What is the best way to create python command line scripts but exploit the (loadonly) speed-up benefit of...

Hi, I need a script to keep running in the background after it's loaded some data. It will make this data available to the main program in the form of a dictionary, but I don't want to reload the calculated data every time the user needs it via the main program. I won't be working with an UI, hope that can be made easily in Python somehow.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
