[chef] Error in running python script through python resource.

[Peeyush Gupta < >]

Hi all,

I am trying to run a simple python script using python resource of chef-cookbook. Here is what my recipe looks like:

filename = "test.py"

python "excute_file" do

  cwd '/home/peeyush/'

  code <<-EOH

python #{filename}

  EOH

  action :run

end

The error I am getting is:

Recipe: hellochef::default

  * python[excute_file] action run

================================================================================

Error executing action `run` on resource 'python[excute_file]'

I am not sure what I am doing wrong as there is no example to run a python script. Please help me resolve this issue.

Thanks,
