calling a python script on button click using python and tkinter

I have a python script which has the functionality of sending an email to a user. I executed this script and it is working fine. In another python script I have only a button, so when I click on this button I want the other python script which sends a email to be executed.I have written the following code:

#!/usr/bin/python

import sys

import os

import Tkinter

import tkMessageBox

top=Tkinter.Tk()



def helloCallBack():

    os.system('SendEmail.py')



B=Tkinter.Button(top,text="hello",command= helloCallBack)

B.pack()

top.mainloop()

I get the following error when I click on the button:

sh: 1:SendEmail.py:not found.

Could you let me know what is the reason for this error and how it can be resolved.Thanks.

If you go to a command prompt and type SendEmail.py, what happens? Do you get the same error?

no it works fine.I executed the same python file separately and then it worked fine.I used python SendEmail.py and it worked.

Do you notice what you just wrote? You said "I used python SendEmail.py". That's not what I asked, and that's not what you're doing in the script. At a prompt, type literally SendMail.py not python SendMail.py. I suspect you'll get the same error. If it doesn't work from the command line, it's not going to work from os.system().

I was able to figure out a way to call another python script on button click:

instead of using os.system('SendEmail.py') we need to use os.system('python SendEmail.py')

If your SendEmail.py is in the same location, use os.system('SendEmail.py'). If it's in a different location, use os.system('python SendEmail.py').
