Thanks for this link between python and CREOSON.

I'm trying to use it to start CREO (on windows). I have several questions.

  1. The environment variables I've set. Do I put a single "\" or double "\"?
  2. When I set the 'PY_CREOSON_STARTFILE' variable to something other than the default it returns an error message. 'message': "You may only specify 'nitro_proeremote.bat' for the startCommand parameter"
  3. I've set the variable to nitro_proe_remote.bat but CREO doesn't start. CREO does start if I run the nitro_proe_remote.bat from C:\Program Files\PTC manually. I am getting a "CREO is started" returned. Any ideas as to what I can be doing wrong?

I'm printing client._configs to see if the environment variables are reading properly. I found I have the restart the IDLE every time I make a change to them.

Any help will be greatly appreciated, and thanks again for all the effort in putting this library together.

Martin

  1. Do you mean backslash symbol escape? If yes, go by this link https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19095796/how-to-print-backslash-with-python;
  2. 'nitro_proe_remote.bat' is the only valid value for this parameter for now, see creoson documentation (http://www.creoson.com/functions.html, choose 'connection: start_creo')
  3. This library is just a http client to creoson server. So the creoson server must be running by you at first for possibility to execute python client commands. Please, watch this video https://youtu.be/-M4uzoCJYEg it describes how to start creoson. And only after that you can connect the python client to creoson and execute commands. Also, PY_CREOSON_START_DIR variable must contains a path to the directory where 'nitro_proe_remote.bat is situated.

I didn't any stuff for this library for a 2 years, my machine is not even installed Windows now. I didn't have any plans to maintain this library :) But fill free to ask more questions I try to help you where I can.
