Python question

[Tim AT Home]

Hi all,

 

I am not a Python guru by any means and I am having an issue that I hope I can get help with

I have a running instance of SPSS – with open ouptut and syntax documents (just one of each)

I run a simple Python program block within the running SPSS session

 

BEGIN PROGRAM PYTHON.

 

import sys

 

import spss #; help(spss)

 

sys.path.insert(0, r"C:\Work_Home\MergeDev")

 

import TWHV23MergeSigTest

 

TWHV23MergeSigTest.MergeRoutine()

 

END PROGRAM.

 

to format my output (this just deletes notes, warnings etc – essentially leaving just the tables) and this runs no problem.

 

 

Now I want to add within the TWHV23MergeSigTest python function a call to run a ‘sbs’ script.

(this is a pre 16 script I wrote that I figure wont run – but the first step is to try and run it and I cant do that).

I have tried the following syntax

 

    try:

 

        Submit(r"""

        SCRIPT "C:\Work_Home\MergeDev\TESTTIMHMergeTestingScriptV4.sbs".

        """)   

 

    except:

        raise

 

 

and I get an error identifying  Submit(r”””

NameError: global name ‘Submit’ is not defined

 

 

I am confused as to why I cant run Submit at this point?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks!

You should do:

from spss import *
Submit(r""""""")

Or (preferred):

import spss
spss.Submit(r""""""")
