Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GnuRadio Port: The system cannot find the file specified

[Ryan van den Bergh]

Hi Josh,

I've already got python in my path. I agree it's a mystery - I'll just chalk it up to another reason why I really hate Windows!

I'll just run it manually. I'll make a batch file to do it so that it's not too painful.

Thanks for the assistance though, I really appreciate it! 

Kind regards,

Ryan

Glad to hear it works. So, GRC is calling into python to exec the
generated python code. Its trying to run "python <path to your file>...
And this works on linux because python is in your path, but I have no
idea why this works on windows. I mean obviously not for you, but its a
mystery as to why it works for me. Python is not in my path. I have no
idea how grc manages to execute the file it generates. But somehow it
does...

I would stick to running it manually like this until I figure this
mystery out. You may try putting c:\python27 in your %PATH%
