Sending Terminal Command (Python) Using LiveCode?

[JOHN PATTEN]

Awesome!

I’m trying to get this working but I think I’m having a problem with providing the path to the Python App.

I keep getting the error:  python: can’t open file ‘Macintosh HD/Users/jpatten/gam’:[Errno 2] No Such file or directory.

Here’s what I have in my button script:

on mouseUp
put cd fld 1 into tScript
   put shell(tScript) into tPython
   answer tPython
end mouseUp

and in my field I have the following:  python “Macintosh HD”/Users/jpatten/gam gam.py info domain

This python command just returns info about the Google Apps domain….

What am I missing?

Thank you!
