Problem running a python script for postproc

[rudyb]

Cool, thanks!

I am getting this error now as well. Python has been installed via cygwin, and is in the system path.

Code: Select all

'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

SABnzbd Version: 0.7.0 running on Windows 7

You did not tell Windows that the .py extension is associated with Python.
Check the PATHEXT environment variable, it should contain ".PY".
Then the assoc and ftype commands.
They should show things like this:

Code: Select all

D:\> ftype Python.File
Python.File="C:\bin\Python27\python.exe" "%1" %*

D:\> assoc .py
.py=Python.File

My python post processing script worked before 0.7.0, now I'm on 0.7.1 but I get this error with both 0.7.0 and 0.7.1:

'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

SABnzbd Category Setting: Script: sabToSickBeard.py

C:\Users\Administrator>ftype Python.File - Python.File="C:\Python27\python.exe" "%1" %*
C:\Users\Administrator>assoc .py - .py=Python.File

C:\Users\Administrator>python
Python 2.7.2 (default, Jun 12 2011, 14:24:46) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

I can also confirm that python is indeed located in C:\Python27\python.exe

Any ideas?

Are these paths actually available for SABnzbd?
There are system-level paths and user-level paths.
The fact that both 0.7.0 and 0.7.1 "stopped working" for this and
going back to 0.7.0 doesn't solve it, indicates a cause outside SABnzbd.

Anyway, there's a simple workaround. Use a wrapper script.

Code: Select all

@echo off
c:\python27\python.exe \path\to\script.py %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
