    From Marty Taylor@1:226/30 to All on Sat Nov 21 06:11:50 2020
    Hey guys,

    I am getting this error when running bbslink.py from a (GY) menu. ---------------------
    PYTHON ERROR (bbslink.py)

    File "bbslink.py", line 85, in <module>
    AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'argv'
    ---------------------

    python 2.7.16 is installed, when I run the script from a bash prompt it works with no errors.

    any ideas?

    Environment problem. When you run it from the menu, something's not set the same way (ex: missing entry in the PATH).
    Similar problem when you develop a python program but then want it to run when the system boots up (i.e. not in your
    environment).

    I am getting this error when running bbslink.py from a (GY) menu.

    I have python 2.7.18 installed and I get:
    Python 2.7 64-bit not detected, press a key

    I use Command DD with Data: python bbslink.py %# which works, I don't know if this is the proper way to do this or not though, or how to fix my error above from a GY Command.

    Sorry, that would be 'python bbslink.py door_code %#'

    May not be the answer to your question, but I've been using the bbslink bash script which has been working quite well on my Pi install.
