Directory name is invalid?

[chester]

Unable to create process: The directory name is invalid.

I am trying to use the spawn command to execute a Python script from my EViews program.
The file directory clearly exists as I am in it right now.
What could possibly be the reason here? Code below:

Code: Select all

%command = " python ""P:\Folder1\Folder2\script.py"" "+ """"+vectorStr+"""" spawn {%command}

Hello,

My first thought is that this is an issue with launching python, not your python script. Perhaps the python installer didn't add its executables directory to the PATH environment variable. As a quick check, try opening a command prompt and running the command "python". An error about python not being a recognized command will verify a PATH issue. An easy fix in EViews is to always use the full path to the python executable instead of just "python".
