Hi,
I am new to python tool.
I have written a simple python code in python tool and try to run the workflow but its not generate the .txt output file.
Could you please help me on this.
f = open("D:\Python\demofile2.txt", "x")
f.write("Now the file has more content!")
f.close()
#open and read the file after the appending:
f = open("D:\Python\demofile2.txt", "r")
print(f.read())
Please note above code is executed if i saved it in .py file like test.py and executed using command prompt
D:\Python> python test.py ----- (Its generated the output successfully)
Could you please help me why the same is not working if i use the Alteryx Python tool.
Thank you in advance,
Thank you in advance,
Hi @alt_tush
Below code ran successfully for me. Slight modification - replaced single back slash with double backslash. make sure, you remove demofile2.txt from D:\Python\ folder.
f = open("D:\\Python\\demofile2.txt", "x")
f.write("Now the file has more content!")
f.close()
#open and read the file after the appending:
f = open("D:\\Python\\demofile2.txt", "r")
print(f.read())
Let me know if this helps...
Hi RuchikaMangla,
Thank you for your quick response. As you suggested i made the changes in code (double blackslash) and re-run the workflow.
But still the output is not generated. Also i have removed "demofile2.txt" file from folder before run the workflow.
Also for information i am using Alteryx 2019.1.6 version.
Thanks again!
Hi @alt_tush
is there any error message you are getting? Could you please share the workflow?
Thanks!
Hi RuchikaMangala,
Thank you for replying.
I cant share the workflow.
But here I am sharing the images with you.
I hope it will helpful.
Also I don't get any error message.
Workflow running successfully but not generate the output.
Thank you again
hi @alt_tush
Try the attached. It worked for me.
I didn't know what you had in the Text Input tool, so I just added a dummy field

HI danilang,
Thank you for your reply.
Yes in text input i have added only dummy value/filed for incoming connection only.
I dont know why the python tool not executing the simple code.
I tried your attached workflow as well but i am facing same issue. (File is not generating)
Thank you!
