Question

Here is the problem…

I’m writing very small plugin for Blender,
I have 10 python scripts, they parsing different file formats by using command-line, and I have a Main Python script to run all other scripts with proper commands…

for example, “Main.py” include:

txt2cfg.py -inFile -outFile…
ma2lxo.py -inFile -outFile…

Blender already include Python, so I can run “Main.py” from Blender, But I need it to work with both PC and MAC, and also doesn’t require Python installation, so I can’t use:

• execfile(‘ txt2cfg.py -inFile -outFile ‘)
• os.system(‘ ma2lxo.py -inFile -outFile ‘)
• or even import subprocess

because they required Python installation in order to run *.py files.

Sorry for language

Thanks

Answer 1

for example, “Main.py” include:

txt2cfg.py -inFile -outFile…
ma2lxo.py -inFile -outFile…

Two things.

1. Each other script needs a main() function and a “main-import switch”. See http://docs.python.org/tutorial/modules.html#executing-modules-as-scripts for hints on how this must look.

2. Import and execute the other scripts.

   import txt2cfg
   import ma2lxo
   txt2cfg.main( inFile, outFile )
   ma2lxo.main( inFile, outFile )
   

This is the simplest way to do things.
