[Solved] NZBGet, Windows10, and Python3

Post by PSA9 » 16 Jan 2021, 22:18

I converted my linux shell script to python about a year ago. It works with NZBGet or stand alone from command line. It works perfect on Linux and now trying to get it to also work on Windows version of NZBGet. My OS is Windows 10. I installed python 3.9 from the Microsoft store and nzbget-21.0-bin-windows-setup.

From command prompt or power shell works exactly same way as it does on linux. The problem is from NZBGet on windows 10. for nzbget testing purposes i am using a simple hello world script. When i execute the script it opens the file in notepad++ but does not execute the code.

Do i need to use shell overide or different shebang?
How can i make nzbget compatible with python from the microsoft store?

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/python

sanderj thanks for the help. I tried everything suggested with no success.
I figured it out on my own by using Shell Override from EXTENSION SCRIPTS in NZBGet.

.py=C:\Users\PSA9\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python.exe

Changing PSA9 to your username should work, but if not I have updated the code to find location from command prompt or power shell.

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/python

if os.environ.get('NZBCP_COMMAND') == 'TestButton':
    print('Hello, world!')
    print(os.path.dirname(sys.executable))
    sys.exit(93)

print(os.path.dirname(sys.executable))
