If you are actually in a python CLI, at the top of that screen does it say something like Python 2.5.4 (r254:67916, Dec 23 2008, 15:10:54) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. ? If yes, then what I wrote earlier should actually work (I downloaded jBoost and looked at the nfold.py script). Here it is again: --> import os --> os.chdir('path/to/nfold.py') # don't include nfold.py ;) --> import nfold --> import sys --> sys.argv = ["nfold.py", "--folds=5", "--data=spambase.data", ... "--spec=spambase.spec", "--rounds=500", "--tree=ADD_ALL", ... "--generate" ] ... --> nfold.main() I fixed the sys.argv line from last time. Good luck! ~Ethan~
