PHP exec() and custom Python module

Question

* edit * After reinstalling the module, everything worked fine.

I have installed a python module on my webserver.

When I do "whereis python" I get following path:

python: /usr/bin/python2.4 /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/python2.4 /usr/include/python2.4 /usr/share/man/man1/python.1.gz

Later when I check my modules path, it was installed here:

/usr/llib/python2.4/site-packages/MyModule/myModule

Now in my PHP script, I am doing this:

exec("python /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/MyModule/myModule script.py -v pixfx.xml 2>&1", $output, $return);

This script does not get executed.

Any issues with what I am doing so far?

Thanks

Do not put things like SOLVED: in the title.

Should you be doing

exec("/usr/bin/python /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/MyModule/myModule script.py -v pixfx.xml 2>&1", $output, $return);

OR

exec("/usr/bin/python/python /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/MyModule/myModule script.py -v pixfx.xml 2>&1", $output, $return);

ok I ran into another bug after I got the exec() to work. I have the module installed correctly, still I get following error: ************ Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/MyModule/myModulw/script.py", line 60, in ? from myModule.ttLib import TTFont ImportError: No module named myModule.ttLib ************** Any idea?

you would have to show the source of script.py and it loks like it cant import some fonts, im not that good at Python but if you post your code ill take a look

The script itself is about generating fonts. Thats why you see things like "TTFont" etc. These are module names :)

uts not the modules causing the script, its a parser error, witch to fix we need the source code of the .py

Hi, THis is how the .py script looks like: **************** #! /usr/bin/env python import sys import os import getopt import re from fontTools.ttLib import TTFont from fontTools.ttLib.tables.otBase import OTLOffsetOverflowError from fontTools.ttLib.tables.otTables import fixLookupOverFlows, fixSubTableOverFlows from fontTools.misc.macCreatorType import getMacCreatorAndType from fontTools import version ************************************ I have removed all the comments.... so the line 60 is "from fontTools.ttLib import TTFont"

You might find it useful to debug under the user that php is running under, ie www-data, apache, etc. This is helpful for uncovering any permission, path or environment issues that may arise.
