[FeatureRequest][C Code Editor]??? Call external script (.bat, python or exe) from panel

[dragoudin]

I would like to monitor a power supply (RS232). I have a script python to manage this. I would like to call a python script from panel (a push button + a function callback). Is there an existing API for this? When I use the python addon, it seems it is to use a python script to minitor TsMaster.

you can use C API, please search "python" to filter out 2 python APIs, steps: [1] in panel, associate a button with a system variable [2] in c code editor, implement on var change callback for this system variable [3] in this callback, you can call your python scripts, such as:

// note: x64 distribution is not installed by default, you need to manually copy folder to bin\Data\Python\active_version\x64 char* s = "
import sys\n
import win32api, win32con\n
win32api.MessageBox(0, 'test with arguments: ' + sys.argv[1] + ' ' + sys.argv[2], 'title', win32con.MB_OK)\n
print('OK')\n
";

char* p;
if (app.check(app.execute_python_string(s, "arg1 arg2", true, false, &p))){ log("execution result is %s", p); } else { log("execution failed with result %s", p); }

I checked and it works fine. It use python 3.8.5 x86 from TsMaster install (is there a way to change python env used?)

Now, if the script doesn't exist or if there is a script error, TsMaster crash (script file doesn't exist)

if (app.check(app.execute_python_script("C:\\xxxxx.py", "arg1 arg2", true, false, &p))){
 log("execution result is %s", p);
} else {
  log("execution failed with result %s", p);
}

(is there a way to change python env used?) Yes, just replace "TSMaster\bin\Data\Python\3.8.5\x86" with your python distribution, as currently "3.8.5" is hard coded in TSMaster, maybe changed in the future. You may also copy some "site-packages" in your new distribution as they are responsible for dbc and arxml database loading.

TsMaster crash (script file doesn't exist) Yes this bug has been fixed and new version will release soon, thank you!
