wx python

can I run a .py file using a button in wxpython?

Of course. You will probably want to use Python’s subprocess module to execute it inside the button’s event handler method.

Depending on what you are trying to do, it could be very simple.

I am using Windows, I don’t know if these all work under Linux or OSX.

For my purposes, I wanted to create a simple “Launch” program
for a bunch of Windows files for programs I used often, but the Windows
task bar or start menu just didn’t cut it (e.g. if I wanted to call
a command line with argument).

For this I use:

import os

and use a sequence of one or more of the following:

os.chdir(…) # make sure I’m in the directory Windows would like to be.
os.startfile(…) # to automatically run registered types, also good for firing up default web browser with URL
os.system(…) # give a cmd command line command
