Hello!
I’m trying to run a script with Python (I think).
It runs well. However, at the end, I get this:
I suppose its not so strange since the script hasnt made the .ti3 file… however, the developer has provided the recipe for how to sort this (I think), but I dont understand what do do:
As far as I can tell this should solve it… but I dont know which of that information I should use and how to apply it… any suggestions?
Cheers
Peter
Perhaps, it would be helpful if you included the if statement (and relevant lines above) corresponding to the else where the error message is thrown.
If you search for the following keywords:
script_pthtemp_fileoutfileicc_fileYou can somehow conclude where a file should be and how it should roughly look like.
The problem with this approach is, that this is extremely tedious to do and you can still completely fail.
I suggest, if you are using a program that is hard to use, then read the whole documentation written by the developer very thoroughly to understand what exactly to do. It does not make any sense, to deduct the whole program by asking in an online forum, because this is extremely inefficient and extremely error prone.
If the developer didn’t write sufficient documentation, you should contact him and ask him about these issues. He will help you much more efficiently and I’m sure the problem will be much quicker solved that way.
Understanding a program’s internals should only be necessary, if you are interested in developing this program, as well. Otherwise, one should read the corresponding documentation, as thoroughly as possible. If not available, I’m sure there are other people who already used this program (unlike us, I presume) and can help you at least to some extent.
Im not sure I know what you mean. The screenshot is a recipe from the developer…
I’ll try and contact the developer. However, the program has a user interface on a PC which looks like this (http://www.dohm.com.au/coca/):
But in doesnt on Linux, which is why I try to do it in Terminal. The program makes ICC profiles.
This might not be helpfull, but I did this:

This might not get me anywhere and thats ok, but Im trying anyway… 
PS The .ti3 is supposed to be created while doing this (its not a pre-existing file).
To avoid fundamental errors, you should provide a path that has no spaces in it. Sometimes this may cause issues.
Makes no difference.
The crucial issue seems to be the part
outfile = script_pth + 'scanin.sh'
out_file = open(outfile, 'w')
out_file.write('#!/bin/bash')
out_file.write(out_text)
out_file.close()
os.system('chmod +x ' + outfile)
p = subprocess.Popen(outfile, shell=True)
p.wait()
Here, a bash script is created which then creates the ti3 file.
However, this failed, as we see in the error message:
/bin/sh: 1: /home/peter/CoCa_Linux/scanin.sh: not found
Why the file /home/peter/CoCa_Linux/scanin.sh couldn’t be created and/or not be written to, I really can’t say.
Unfortunately, the programmer did not include a handler for this case. You might try to add
except IOError as e:
print "I/O error({0}): {1}".format(e.errno, e.strerror)
after
out_file = open(outfile, 'w')
and see what it says.
Maybe, it’s a rights issue. You might try chmod -R a+w /home/peter/CoCa_Linux before executing the script but this is just a wild guess.
Thanks - I’ll see if I’m able to do what you suggest 
I dont know if this is relevant or, not but there is a scanin.sh file created when I get the error message. When I open it in the text editor it just repeat the same error message though:
#!/bin/bash"/home/peter/CoCa_Linux/argyll/bin/scanin" -v “/home/peter/CoCa_Linux//home/peter/CoCa_Linux/ScanMate11KProviacq16bitkopi.tif” “/home/peter/CoCa_Linux/argyll/ref/it8.cht” “/home/peter/CoCa_Linux/F180316kopi.txt”
Ive been searching a bit more. If I write ‘scanin’ in terminal it seems like this is a program I have… and I think I have to do something like this: https://www.argyllcms.com/doc/scanin.html
Is this exactly the way it is written or are there line breaks missing? Without line breaks at the correct space, it won’t work.
Thats just an errormmessage.
And Im sorry about this… I was certain the script was supposed to have created the ti3 file, but that file has to be created using scanin first… Im trying to figure it out
