Running a python script from the command line in Windows

Question

I\'m trying to run SnakeFood, to analyze a python project. I\'m on a Windows machine and so far I\'ve been able to figure out how to:

• install Tortoise for Merc

Answer 1

Would this work?

python "DriveLetter:\path\to\sfood.py" "DriveLetter:\path\to\your\project"

Answer 2

I was able to resolve this issue, on my Windows 7 machine with Python 2.7.3 installed, like so:

C:\> cd \path\to\snakefood\installation\folder
C:\path\to\snakefood\installation\folder> python setup.py install
...
C:\path\to\snakefood\installation\folder> cd C:\Python27\Scripts
C:\Python27\Scripts> python sfood \path\to\my\project
...

Answer 3

Considering the documentation says "sfood /path/to/my/project" it most likely assumes a *nix environment. That leads me to the assumption that sfood probably has a shebang line.

On Windows you probably need to use "python sfood ". If "sfood" isn't in your PATH, you'll need to write the full path rather than just "sfood".
