Execute python file in a new terminal?

Question

well, i'm trying to execute a python file in a new terminal. I've tried several thing, no result. I read this Execute terminal command from python in new terminal window? So i tried

subprocess.call(['gnome-terminal', '-x', 'python /root/Desktop/Script/website/bb.py'])

it opens me a new terminal but it says me "no such file or directory". i've tried differents paths without results.

What i'm doing wrong ?

Thanks i

Also, show us the output of `which python` and see what happens when you replace 'python' (3rd element of argument of `call`) with that result, being full path to python interpreter. — Filip Malczak, Mar 24 '18 at 19:32

and which python is /usr/bin/python. I've tried subprocess.call(['gnome-terminal', '-x', '/usr/bin/python /root/Desktop/Script/website/bb.py']) without result — hugoboss45, Mar 24 '18 at 20:10

it seems the warning because unproper path writing as you expected therefore you have to take care if these notes

path separator differs on operation system. Windows uses backslash \, Linux&Mac use slash /
in windows Desktop folder lies on C:\\Users\[username]\Desktop, on linux /home/[username]/Desktop
you can use os.path package to handle paths os.path.join

Tip drag the script file into your terminal to get the absolute path located on your file system

Thanks for your reply. I'm on linux. So i use backslash – hugoboss45 Mar 24 '18 at 19:25
`/` is actually forward slash – OneCricketeer Mar 24 '18 at 19:27
I made a mistake, i'm using slash not backslash – hugoboss45 Mar 24 '18 at 19:35
