Well I am trying to make a basic repair tool using Python, it's being a real dick to me so I decided to ask for help...

Here's the current code...

PHP Code


<?php 
print("Hello and thanks for using Mike's Desktop AIO Repair Tool!")
raw_input("Press any key to continue...")
print("So what would you like to do?")
print("1) Scan HDD for errors & bad sectors.")
print("2) Fix registry errors.")
print("3) Scan for viruses and malware.")
raw_input("Press any key to continue...")

choice == raw_input("Please select an option...")
if choice == "1":
    raw_input("Press any key to continue...")
    print("Now scanning HDD for errors!")
    print("Test...") 


What I want it to do is, after it says Now scanning HDD for errors! I want it to open command prompt, BUT I want the Python program to stay OPEN.

Can someone tell me how to make python open Command Prompt BUT keep python running as well?

I can't figure that part out :/

Cheers,
Mike

subprocess.call("A command")

"A command" can be anything you would input in a windows terminal.

Code

import subprocess

subprocess.call("notepad.exe")   #Starts notepad
subprocess.call("cmd.exe /c ipconfig")   #Start a command prompt and execute ipconfig

2: I just noticed an error in you code:

Code

choice == raw_input("Please select an option...")
#Should be
choice = raw_input("Please select an option...")

Always remember:
"x == y" test if x is equal to y
"x = y" assign the value of y to x

3: For your error, try to run this code:
The only reason I see to stop working at raw_input is that you are using python 3.

Code

import subprocess

try:
    print("Just checking if you run python2...")
    raw_input
    print("Looks good to me!")
except:
    print("OOPS, seems you are running python 3.")
    print("Python 3 use input and not raw_input.")
    print("I'll fix this for you now. Next time use 'input'!\n\n")
    raw_input = input

print("Hello and thanks for using Mike's Desktop AIO Repair Tool!")
raw_input("Press any key to continue...")
print("So what would you like to do?")
print("1) Scan HDD for errors & bad sectors.")
print("2) Fix registry errors.")
print("3) Scan for viruses and malware.")
raw_input("Press any key to continue...")

choice = raw_input("Please select an option...")
if choice == "1":
    raw_input("Press any key to continue...")
    print("Now scanning HDD for errors!")
    print("Test...")
    subprocess.call("cmd.exe")
