58 Chapter 2 Command Descriptions
python
Devices
supported
This command is supported in Connectport X Family products only.
Purpose Manually executes a Python program from the command line.
The “python” command is similar to a command executed on a PC.
However, other than a program name and arguments for the program, the
command takes no arguments itself, and is currently unable to spawn an
interactive session.
Syntax python [(TFTP server ip):]filename [program args...]
Options [(TFTP server ip):]filename
The main file to be executed. This file can be either a file on the file
system accessed through the Web UI, or a file accessible through a
TFTP server on the network. This TFTP functionality reduces the number
of times that you may need to place a program on the file system while
developing and refining functionality. However, the TFTP behavior only
works for the main program. Modules and packages must still be present
on the file system to be used.
program args...
Arguments to be supplied to the program.
