Python execfile problem

[colau]

Nothing happens if i type python python.py in terminal.


import os
filename = os.environ.get('/media/disk/Testing/python.py')
if filename and os.path.isfile(filename):
execfile(filename)

echo $PATH


/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games

Hm, I don't know why you're using an environmental variable. Environmental variables are traditionally used to make a certain setting known to multiple programs, and they're stored with the shell, not python.

So as far as I understand...



print os.environ.get('/media/disk/Testing/python.py')


is the same as (in bash)



echo "$/media/disk/Testing/python.py"


Try this if you want to execute that file in python, from a python script.



filename = '/media/disk/Testing/python.py'
try:
execfile(filename)
except IOError, error:
print 'Cannot execute file %s. Error: %s' % (filename, error.strerror)
