So I am using the following code to call another python routine which does some geoprocessing.
def runcmd(cmd, format='s'):
import subprocess
proc = subprocess.Popen(cmd, shell=True, stdin=subprocess.PIPE,stdout=subprocess.PIPE,stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
stdout,stderr=proc.communicate()
exit_code=proc.wait()
return exit_code,stdout,stderr
Everything works fine until I launch the primary script from the toolbox. It appears to me that if I try to set any environment variables (Workspace, Mask, Extent, etc) in the subroutine it throws an error. The sub looks basically like this...
# Import system modules
import arcgisscripting, time, sys, os
gp = arcgisscripting.create(9.3)
gp.OverwriteOutput = 1
gp.CheckOutExtension("spatial")
try:
#now do some gp stuff
suggestions?
