[SOLVED] Axis python posting issue

ok, so i've modded a bunch of py sripts for axis. axis opens them fine, and the python part runs fine, but when i click quit (or whatever widgit is used to close the py script) i get a blank py file in the tmp folder and axis complains about it?

surely i am not the first this has happend to.... easy fix?

thanks,
A

its those that give me this message.

at first, i thought it was a permissions error, but then there would be no file, not a blank file.

?

hmmmm. ok, so i tried to follow the python chain, to see exactly what its steps are.

my local bin directory had no python in it, even though i had python installed....

to save myself time and my eyesight, i'm just going to flash the lucid emc live image, and see if that puts things where they need to be...

ok, well, that didn't solve anything.

i even tried the stock ini's and still, no avail. though, i must say that the stock ini doesn't have a python section

i guess i'll track down the passing off of the files in python until i see exactly where the problem is.

using the stock programs off of the basic gcode generators, and using the stock emc2 live setup, yeilds no results. still the same error.

well, John, your code works. Its just, most of the programs on:

wiki.linuxcnc.org/emcinfo.pl?Simple_EMC_G-Code_Generators

however, don't.

I took the facing code that you wrote, stole the address for python, (line 1), and changed the quit, write to axis command, and suddenly all my scripts worked just great with axis. (but shouldn't line 1 be irrelevant given the #?, i think its just the command that needed fixing for me)

as long as the subject is here, I must say that using python was a great idea. it can run on cell phones, any os, and is easy to write/distribute. I can use the programs i write for emc, to aid with me with other machines, just because of the output it can create.

thanks,
A

oh, well there it is. thanks for the info. that clears things up a bit more....
