 lua and python, what a world!
 
 |  
				| I am using lua to active .bat and .py files. historically this has worked fine. I made a .py file that would send me emails and it worked (new cmud install since then). 
 
 the .py file itself works fine. it runs when i test it in Idle and when i double click/select and hit enter.
 
 when i use
 
or just set the alias language to lua and use 
	  | Code: |  
	  | #lua {os.execute("c:\Users\miegorengman\Documents\`python files\doesMyThing.py")} |  
 
	  | Code: |  
	  | os.execute("c:\Users\miegorengman\Documents\`python files\doesMyThing.py") |  
 i get the cmdPrompt flash like it's running, but then nothing happens. it's almost like the .py needs a little more time to run but CMUD is cutting it off...this is conjecture but i don't really have any other ideas. I also tried giving the .py a layer of separation by using a .bat to run the .py...as maybe that would prevent the .py from getting cut short before it completes running. if i manually activate the .bat it works, the .py runs. If i use CMUD, same issue, CMDprompt flashes on/off and nothing happens.
 
 does anyone have any ideas? thank you much :)

				| That looks like unmatched parenthesis in both cases.

				| i wish that was the case, i just went back and checked and it seems i managed to typo them both creating this post. the script itself does not contain that error 
 i added the unmatched parenthesis just to see if i had copied that over directly and it would not fire. i remove it and it fires...though still with not result.
