How to run *.py(w) _without command line popping out_?

[417_TheFog]

How to run *.py from *.lua or at least properly execute python code without command line popping out???
(on Windows 11)

NOTE: it still appears even with -.pyw. The problem is probably in the ways *.py(w) is executed - os.execute and io.popen. How then?

A Python installation comes with python.exe and pythonw.exe, this is their difference:

Why do you need to run something in a different language, ask yourself that as a first thing.

Why do you need to run something in a different language

I need to use the API of one program and this API is only in python. I don't write everything in python because creating a distribution on it is a pain.

It's strange that you ask such a question, like bro a huge number of projects on github are multilingual because none of the languages ​​is universal/optimized for any task.

It's still a relevant question. If it's your only option, fair enough, but if you want us to help you, you better provide some Lua code.

Code: Select all

-- conf.lua
function love:conf()
  self.console=true
end

To disable popups try to enabled console in config

Another workaround is to use network

Code: Select all

-- main.lua
if not love then os.execute "love ." os.exit() end
os.execute "start /min python server.py"
local socket=require "socket"

local app={ text="press 1", t=0 }

function love.update(dt) app.t=app.t+dt end

function love.draw()
  love.graphics.print(("%s t=%.2f"):format(app.text,app.t),10,10)
end

function command(cmd)
  local s=socket.tcp() s:connect("127.0.0.1",32768)
  s:send(cmd) local res=s:receive "*a" s:close()
  return res
end

function love.keypressed(key)
  if key=='q' or key=='escape' then command "quit" end
  if key=='escape' then love.event.quit() end
  if key=='1' then app.text=command "hello" end
end

Code: Select all

# server.py
import socket,sys

s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)  
s.bind(('127.0.0.1',32768))  
s.listen(5) 
while True:  
    con,addr=s.accept()  
    buf=con.recv(1024)  
    print(buf)
    con.send(buf+" from python\n")
    con.close()
    if buf=="quit": sys.exit()

provide some Lua code.

here. the problem is not in writing the code, but in the fact that I literally do not know what function to use.

Code: Select all

os.execute("pythonw.exe Script.pyw 1>stdout.txt 2>stderr.txt")

...

oh wow, thanks a lot !

[RNavega]

Code: Select all

os.execute("pythonw.exe Script.pyw 1>stdout.txt 2>stderr.txt")

Oh, I see. If the console was still coming up even with the Python side resolved, then as kov_serg pointed out, it might be LÖVE's console, which can be disabled through that conf.lua flag or also by not using that flag at all and running your programs with either:

• love.exe (no console)

• lovec.exe (forced console)

I set each to like the F5 and F6 shortcut keys on Notepad++ (plus the path to the current directory), so if I want to run w/ console output, I hit the key that's bound to lovec.exe.

[kov_serg]

Even more io.popen has same behaviour. It pops up console window if no console enabled.
This problem inside love code.

But why you try to use python with love2d? You can use python pyglet for example.
