Run salome from python

Install & build
1

Hello,

how to run salome scripts directly from python? I would like to run python scripts generated by salome without using GUI.

Thanks,

Without the gui ,you can use in the terminal

salome -t yourScript.py

Nevertheless is quiet complex to run directly from python (something like python yourScript.py) have a look on the forum it has already been asked and answered.
Best regards

You can call salome to run a file within a python script, but it will open its own terminal/python instance to run Salome through.

import subprocess 
salomePath = "C://SALOME-9.9.0/run_salome.bat"
dumpFile = "exampleDumpFile.py"
subprocess.call([salomePath, "-t", "python", dumpFile])

The “-t” in the subprocess call will run salome terminal mode. If you wish to open the GUI, exclude the “-t”. See documentation here.

Hi,

it is much easier since SALOME 9.9.0. You just have to add the SALOME environment with:

source env_launch.sh

or:

./salome context

then:

python yourscript.py

should work.
