Up to date comunnication java to python

Question

I'm trying to run python script from java and when something would change in java I want to send information about it to python program. I don't know the best solution for it. I can run python script and send start information to it but then problems start. I think about sending data through tcp/ip connection, but when I try to do that I have error in python script:

Caused by: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "pythonScript.py", line 2, in <module>
import socket

So it's some problem with scoket import, but when I run this program normaly there is no error. It's code of function which I use to run python script:

 public void runPythonScript(boolean isCameraOn, String ip){
 System.out.println(ip);
 String[] arguments = {ip};
 PythonInterpreter.initialize(System.getProperties(),System.getProperties(), arguments);
 PythonInterpreter python = new PythonInterpreter();
 StringWriter out = new StringWriter();
 python.setOut(out);
 python.execfile("pythonScript.py");
 String outputStr = out.toString();
 System.out.println(outputStr);
} 

And it's code of python client:

import sys
import socket //ERROR
print("poczatek")
print(sys.argv[0])
print("koniec")
HOST = "localhost"
PORT = 8080
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
sock.setblocking(0)
sock.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
sock.connect((HOST, PORT))
sock.sendall("Hello\n")
data = sock.recv(1024)
print("1)", data)
if (data == "olleH\n"):
 sock.sendall("Bye\n")
 data = sock.recv(1024)
 print("2)", data)
if (data == "eyB}\n"):
 sock.close()
 print("Socket closed")

Java server:

 public void sendDataToPythonScript(boolean isCameraOn, String ip) throws 
 IOException {
 String fromClient;
 String toClient;
 ServerSocket server = new ServerSocket(8080);
 System.out.println("wait for connection on port 8080");
 boolean run = true;
 while(run) {
 Socket client = server.accept();
 System.out.println("got connection on port 8080");
 BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(client.getInputStream()));
 PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(client.getOutputStream(),true);
 fromClient = in.readLine();
 System.out.println("received: " + fromClient);
 if(fromClient.equals("Hello")) {
 toClient = "olleH";
 System.out.println("send olleH");
 out.println(toClient);
 fromClient = in.readLine();
 System.out.println("received: " + fromClient);
 if(fromClient.equals("Bye")) {
 toClient = "eyB";
 System.out.println("send eyB");
 out.println(toClient);
 client.close();
 run = false;
 System.out.println("socket closed");
 }
 }
 }
 System.exit(0);
}

Try importing the embedded socket module

import _socket

If that does not fix it try setting the path for python modules this link should explain how to set the path for python in java.

• Marcin46: Thanks, I set python path and now It's working. I will edit post later with working code.
