i am working on a gnome shell extension. Shortly i want that if i press a button in my extension, to run a python script just like this. The problem is that this doesnt work for me, it appears an error "Execution of "python /my/path.py" failed: Command not found"

How can i overcome this?

Util.spawnCommandLine() works fine for commands as "touch" or "mkdir", but it doesn't work with "bash" or "sh", because I've made a shell file to overcome python issue, and inside this shell file is python command

Why is this question tagged with `javascript`? – Cyrus Aug 12 '23 at 15:31
because gnome extensions are written using javascript – vlad Aug 12 '23 at 15:37

This looks like a quoting problem because `/my/path.py` appears in the error message and not only `python`. – Cyrus Aug 12 '23 at 15:40
and what do you think is the problem? the code is moreover the same as in the link in the post (let python_script = '/path/to/python/script'; Util.spawnCommandLine("python " + python_script);) – vlad Aug 12 '23 at 15:45
I've tried all the possible combination of quoting – vlad Aug 12 '23 at 15:46

Please update your question with a sample of your code, not a reference to someone else's from a decade ago. – andy.holmes Aug 12 '23 at 23:44
even if it's the same fucking thing? – vlad Aug 28 '23 at 13:04
