Googling "running.a.python app.on onedrive", suggests you can't do that |
Thank you for your reply, however I Googled this (and similar wordings) and I could not find any such suggestion. Are you able to provide a specific link to where you read this? |
see here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45082883/python-virtualenv-cant-work-through-onedrive It's more a generic warning that it's not the way OneDrive is meant to be used. |
Thank you for sharing this link with me, I have now read the post but I still do not understand why WinPython cannot run on OneDrive. This is because the post just claims that OneDrive is "not meant for code", but does not give any reference or explanation. Consequently I am curious about your comment that the "size of the minimal winpython( 200 Mo) makes it a problem". Please would you explain why this is the case? If so I would greatly appreciate it. |
sqlite_bro definitely works with Winpython-3.4.4 being on the cloud drive, but it's a small thing. |
Also possible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2OFFoKXGXo |
That is very interesting that Winpython-3.4.4 worked on OneDrive for you. This either means that later versions of WinPython have lost this capability, or that my OneDrive may have some issue. If it is not too much trouble, please would you test it with "Winpython64-3.10.9.0"? Also thank you for the YouTube video, however I tried the recommended steps but these did not change the outcome. |
You shall check that the winpython standard icon, that launch a command line, does work |
I am attempting to run a Python script using a WinPython distribution, both of which are located on OneDrive.
Specifically, I attempted to accomplish this by typing the following into the command prompt: "C:\MyOneDriveFolder\WinpythonFolder\python-3.9.8.amd64\python.exe" "C:\MyOneDriveFolder\MyPythonScript.py"
However, the command prompt gave the error message "Access is denied." There was also a pop-up stating "This app can't run on your PC. To find a version for your PC, check with the software distributor".
I tried several approaches to fix this issue, including:
However, I still get the same error message. If anyone knows how to fix this please would you advise me? Or if anyone knows for sure that this cannot be done with the current version of WinPython this would also be a great help. And in this case I would like to suggest this as an area for future development.
I appreciate anyone's time and thank you in advance.
