Executing external exe's?

How can this be done through blender/pyhton.

The reason to do this is so my script can ‘dump’ the raw data and for my external proggy to process into a meaningfull file :wink:

See the python documentation for the os module (6.1.5 Process managment)

‘import os’ not working :frowning:

guess i need to install/copy something over?

Aha figured it out :wink:

Install python, then point blender to the lib folder in the pyhton install :slight_smile:

Is there a way to execute external win32 .exe’s without Blender closing down?

Yes, look at some other scripts, there might be some closeby that might help you also with other problems you seem to have (questions you posted on blender.org)…
