After launching cmd.exe you get a command prompt and can then cd into any directory of your choice. Which directory did you go to before launching vispython? Did you of it from the root of the C directory? your home? and ALPS tutorials directory?

I'm sorry but what do you mean by which directory ?

Let me try it another time: which directory are you in when you type vispython.exe?

Which directory did you launch it from? Did you first launch cmd.exe and then typed via python there?

Where are you launching Python from, and how are you launching it?

Hi,

I just changed to python and am using alps version 2.0. So, i first started the first basic tutorial using python and everything was going smoothly until i reached " result_files = pyalps.getResultFiles(prefix='parm1') ". The error message i received was:

 File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
 File "C:\Program Files\VisTrails\vistrails\Python27\lib\site-packages\pyalps\tools.py", line 400, in getResultFiles
  res = recursiveGlob(dirname, pattern)
 
File "C:\Program Files\VisTrails\vistrails\Python27\lib\site-packages\pyalps\tools.py", line 372, in recursiveGlob
  ret += recursiveGlob(os.path.join(dirname, d), pattern)
 
File "C:\Program Files\VisTrails\vistrails\Python27\lib\site-packages\pyalps\tools.py", line 370, in recursiveGlob
   for d in os.listdir(dirname):

windowsError: [Error 5] Access is denied: '.\\Application Data/*.*' 

Then, i skipped over to tutorials MC-08 and got the same message when using result_files = ....

May i know what is wrong here ? I use my windows command prompt with the python interpreter from vistrails. 

Regards, 
Mike
