How to run a specific python program or file ?

[vincentvije]

Hello,

I'm stuck in this :
If I enter shift + 1 to enter Program, I see "Python (App)", but touching it displays "Error loading file". And in the connexion kit pc app, I can't add python programs to "Programs", but just normal programs... There no Python (App) sub item. And in Programs, it doesn't recongnize .py python files to be python programs.

If I do Apps -> Python, I can enter various .py files. The same in the connexion kit. I can edit opr add files with Symb. But when I do Num, it runs all python files ! Not just one I choose ! ...

I want to be able to enter several python files and run the one I select, only one of my choice.

Please do you know how to do it ?

Thanks a lot.
Kind regards,
Vincent

I have found 2 ways

for each python program you can save the python app with a new name and reset it and have a python app for each program, or

in programs you can create a ppl program and use example

#PYTHON QUAD
import math
print ("QUAD EQ AX^2+BX+C=0")
A=float(input("A? "))
print(A)
B=float(input("B? "))
print(B)
C=float(input("C? "))
print(C)
D=pow(B,2)-4*A*C
EE=(-B+math.sqrt(D))/(2*A)
FF=(-B-math.sqrt(D))/(2*A)
print("ROOT 1="+str(EE))
print("ROOT 2="+str(FF))
#END

EXPORT QUADpy()
BEGIN
PRINT();
PYTHON(QUAD);
END;

The best approach is to embed the Python script within a PPL program by labeling it as #PYTHON script_name. Then, you can refer to it from within PPL. The Python code area is not syntax-checked when using 'CHECK'; errors only appear after running the program.
Within a given Python script, you can create subroutines using 'def' and refer to them from the Python script itself. However, you cannot refer to your PPL-written subroutines from Python. You can execute PPL language commands using the 'hpprime' library.

Thanks a lot Doug et Piotr,

I'm ok with this. For me it's fine.
I could use it and make some programs in python.
I found some ohter methods too.
But I wanted to be able to write python only programs and have a simple list of them, without using PPL.

The problem is : the school asked my daughter to have a calculator with python. They said better with Numwrks or TI-84 python.
I said my daughter that she could keep its hp prime and make python.

But in comparation with Numworks and TI-84, I think it's too complex to make school programs on the hp prime.
Maybe I'm wrong. But I saw it in the two other calculators and it seems it's easier on them.

Maybe I'm wrong ?

Thanks again,

It is true, when the hp team was taken off the prime I don't think python was complete so I think there are lot of bugs and missing stuff, not sure what the future holds

Thanks Doug. Yes, HP should do better, just for business... Regards.

The TI is far superior for pure Python. I have both and when I want to work with Python, I turn to the TI. It's easier to use and there are no glaring bugs.

Thanks Tom, it's all clear now. Sad HP doesn't make the step correctly. I like TI too, I worked on DSP for them some years ago.
