Use of cpython when using a button as trigger

Scripting
,

Hi there

I want to use a python script via a button in rhino. As the button command I use

! _-RunPythonScript “C:\Users\anhmba\OneDrive - Ancotech AG\rs_QR_Code.py”

The python script I use has to utilize cpython and not ironpython because it is using 2 external libaries: pillow and pylibdmtx.

It creates the following error (german)

{B698C5F6-B8E2-4B9E-85F8-BA48B32A6E97}
{B698C5F6-B8E2-4B9E-85F8-BA48B32A6E97}349×209 6.96 KB

So I asume the button command uses the ironpython engine as default and I am wondering how to change this to the cpython engine. When I go in the Edit Script command and run the code from there it works - it is only the button that seems to use the ironpython engine. I put the script in the annex.

Thank you for your help.

Kind regards

Mirko

Hi Mirko, try to explicitly set the Python version in the .py file (i.e. add #! python 3 as the first line).

And welcome on board :slight_smile:
