Executing C++ code from python
c++, directory, file, python
Solution
Fairly easy to execute an external program from Python - regardless of the language:
import os
import subprocess
for filename in os.listdir(os.getcwd()):
print filename
proc = subprocess.Popen(["./myprog", filename])
proc.wait()
The list used for arguments is platform specific, but it should work OK. You should alter `"./myprog"` to your own program (it doesn't have to be in the current directory, it will use the PATH environment variable to find it).
Problem
I am a beginner to python, and I have no idea if this seems to be a doable thing. I have a simple loop in python that gives me all the files in the current directory. What I want to do is to execute a C++ code I wrote before on all those files in the directory from python The proposed python loop should be something like this ``` import os for filename in os.listdir(os.getcwd()): print filename (Execute the code.cpp on each file with each iteration) ``` Is there any chance to do this?
