Python Code

[armsys]

Would anyone be very kind enough to share your complete MS+Python code with us?
Thank you.

There's an example here:

Houston, I have a problem!
MS crashes at Line 37. Please rescue me.

You don't say what the error is. But as well as the DLL you need the Imports. This uses urllib2 so you'll need that lib.

"First ensure Python27.dll and imports are in your Macro Scheduler program folder".

Where can I download the urllib2 please?

[armsys]

The following two files are the best I can find:

Code: Select all

urllib2.py
urllib2.pyc

Please help. Thanks.

You don't say what the error is.

When executing Line 37, msched.exe suddenly vanishes from Windows without leaving any traces.

I think you're trying to make this more complicated - just extract the ENTIRE zip to the Macro Scheduler program folder!

1. Download this file:
https://www.mjtnet.com/software/python27.zip

2. Extract EVERYTHING from that zip into the Macro Scheduler 14 *program folder* (usually c:\program files (x86)\Macro Scheduler 14

3. You should see python27.dll as well as Lib, DLLs, and libs sub folders and these should contains a bunch of files and sub folders.

Now your script should run

Thank you for help. The code does work finally.
The Bible never mentions that all folders & files in python27.zip must be copied to the Macro Scheduler folder.

It does. From the PyExec topic in the help file (or online here: https://www.mjtnet.com/manual/index.html?pyexec.htm):

Requires the Python 2.7 DLL to be installed and in the path.

We recommend installing the python27.dll in the same folder as Macro Scheduler or of your compiled macro. Any libraries and runtimes can also be included in lib,libs,dll etc folders at the same level, consistent with the usual Python setup.

We've provided a zip file containing the Python 2.7 runtime environment which you can download from here. Export the contents to the Macro Scheduler program folder, or the folder of a compiled macro (.exe).[/size]

Added emphasis mine.

At least, the above description seems to me that only python27.dll would suffice.
Sorry, my misunderstanding.

[Marcus Tettmar]

"We've provided a zip file ....... Export the contents "

I'm sorry if that is somehow not clear.

[armsys]

In order for Python to run under MS, it requires: 3 folders & 1 file installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Macro Scheduler 14:
DLLs (folder)
Lib (folder)
libs (folder)
python27.dll (file)

[Marcus Tettmar]

And a whole heap of other files inside those folders.

So just extract the entire contents of the provided zip file to your Macro Scheduler program folder, as per our instructions.

Just unzip the folder there. That's it!!
