Re: PY shutil on win xp home version


Thanks Tim for resopnding,
I appreciate the help.

I convinced the client to install Linux on 4
machines rather than upgrade from xp home to XP
Pro, and more machines to come if the like it.

python help,

A client is using win xp home.

my program contains;
shutil.copyfile(n, 'prn')

This runs fine on win xp pro but they are
getting the following traceback.

File "LOP_PRT_10.pyc", line 170, in
__init__ File "LOP_PRT_10.pyc", line 188,
in Fprint1 File "shutil.pyc", line 47, in
copyfile IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or
directory: 'prn'

Since this runs ok on win xp pro, does this
have something to do with the home version
of xp.

I'm thinking of changeing 'prn' to 'lpt1'
and trying again but I don't want to use
the client as a testor. Or is there some
other explaination for the problem.

Not that this is your question, but if
you're trying to print under Windows have
you looked at:

w_d o_i/print.html

for alternatives?

Thanks for the response,

I got the following to work on windows.

win32api.ShellExecute (
0, 'print',
filename, None, ".", 0
)

However it prints the name of the file at the
top and adds a page number on the bottom. Is
there some way of eliminating the filename
and page number.

Unfortunately, this approach is quick-and-dirty
and you're at the mercy of whatever the "print"
verb does to "filename" on your box. (Although
you can configure that if you try hard enough).

I'm afraid if you want control, you'll have to
go the PDF route or to automate Word /
OpenOffice etc.
