I need to launch a python script with no external dependencies from my rails

  • 0

I need to launch a python script with no external dependencies from my rails app. I need to add the folder to PYTHONPATH and start the script. I tried this:

puts system(PYTHONPATH=../lib/python/ python ../reporter/src/reporter.py)

but the script does not work. It should create a specific file, but it doesn’t. I also tried:

puts system("PYTHONPATH=../lib/python/ | python ../reporter/src/reporter.py")

but I received the following error:

ImportError: No module named...."

It looks as though PYTHONPATH is not set in the second case. What am I doing wrong? How I can start the python script?

    Have you tried

    system("export PYTHONPATH=../lib/python/ && python ../reporter/src/reporter.py")

    You may also need to put the full path in and use Rails.root.to_s
