(Python) Getting shovel to work in windows so python methods can be run like individual executables - pckujawa

I had hear about a method to run a method like an executable, with the arguments being passed in from the commandline. Apparently, Ruby has this with the Rake project. Well, Python has it with [Shovel](http://devblog.seomoz.org/2012/03/shovel-rake-for-python). Only the instructions didn't work for me on windows, so I had to create a batch script to call `shovel` correctly. So here's my setup. I installed shovel using `easy_install shovel`, which placed it in my python scripts folder (C:\Python27\Scripts, which is in my PATH). I created 'shovel.bat' (see source) in the same folder. So now I can call `shovel` from anywhere and it will call my batch file, passing the parameters into shovel. For completeness, here is my working directory structure (note the subfolder called shovel): D:. │ song log.log │ Untitled_10.mp3 │ Untitled_11.mp3 │ Untitled_2.mp3 │ Untitled_3.mp3 │ Untitled_4.mp3 │ Untitled_5.mp3 │ Untitled_6.mp3 │ Untitled_7.mp3 │ Untitled_8.mp3 │ Untitled_9.mp3 │ └───shovel tasks.py My python script is incomplete but can be run by shovel using `shovel tasks.extractSongInfo "log file name.log"` from the directory above the 'shovel' directory. Here's the script: from shovel import task @task def extractSongInfo(logFile): """Given a log file with lines like "{date} INFO Currently playing - Song: {songName} - Artist: {artist} - Length: {numSeconds}" return a collection of extracted info.""" opId = "Extracting song info" # operation ID print opId print 'Done: ' + opId
