I am getting the following error:
WindowsError: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified
My code is:
subprocess.call(["<<executable file found in PATH>>"])
Windows 7, 64 bit. Python 3.x latest, stable.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
When the command is a shell built-in, add a 'shell=True' to the call.
E.g. for dir
you would type:
import subprocess
subprocess.call('dir', shell=True)
To quote from the documentation:
The only time you need to specify shell=True on Windows is when the command you wish to execute is built into the shell (e.g. dir or copy). You do not need shell=True to run a batch file or console-based executable.
