I'm trying to run the following code in pycharm using python 3.7

os.system("java ToPython")

however I get the following error:

Error: Could not find or load main class ToPython

I tried executing the same java file from terminal:

javac ToPython.java
java topython

and it works perfectly file

note: all the files exist in the same folder

The current working directory may be different though. Try to call "os.chdir" before "os.system" or try absolute paths. – Michael Butscher Mar 16 '20 at 21:07
Thank you! I changed the working directory using os.chdir() and it worked – altair Mar 16 '20 at 21:10
