Python within Limagito File Mover running as a windows service
Python within Limagito File Mover running as a windows service
In version v2025.7.6.0 we added a ‘Global Python’ setup option.
One of the reasons we did this is by default we’ll use the latest registered Python version. The issue is that when you are using the File Mover as a Windows service and the ‘Logon As’ user of the File Mover service is not able to read the registry settings of the latest registered Python version then we’ll be not able to initialise the Global Python engine. To prevent this issue, it is a good ideae to register it for all users when installing the Python Distribution. Another option is to adjust the Global Python setup and use “Select Specific Version’ as Distribution Type.
Default Distribution Type: Latest Registered Version
Destination Python Setup, click F9 to execute Script
Error message: Global Engine not available
So the File Mover Service was not able to find the Python Distribution using the registry information
To solve this we added the following Distribution Type:
Distribution Type: “Select Specific version”
Set Python DLL Name
Set Python Version
Set Python DLL Path (in the screenshot we used the 64bit version of Python)
Destination Python Setup, click <F9> to execute Script
Info message: Global Engine available, RegVersion: 3.13 – DLLName: python313.dll
So the File Mover Service was able to find the Python Distribution correctly
The Remote tool has an option to read the “Engine Log'” of the File Mover service. This will give you some information about the status of the Global Python Engine.
If you need any help with this ‘python windows service’ error, please let us know.

How to use Python within Limagito File Mover
How to use Python within Limagito File Mover
In version v2025.6.29.0 we added a Python as Destination option. This is the first build so we know it still needs fine-tuning. Please tell us what you think and if you find any issues please let us know. Also, Python feature requests are welcome.
Be sure to read the following blog article about using our new Python option with Limagito File Mover installed as a Windows Service: link
32-bit versions of Limagito File Mover will only work with 32-versions of Python
64-bit versions of Limagito File Mover will only work with 64-bit versions of Python.
Our File Mover will use the default registered version of Python
We did our testing with Python v3.13
You can download a Python distribution from here: link
We’ve added quite some Rule related Var, they always tart with ps (PythonScript):
Readable within Python (case sensitive):

psFileSubDir
psFileSubDirFirst
psFileSubDirLast
psFilePath

psFileSubPathLast
psSourcePath
psFileChecksum
psDestinationID
psRuleTempPath

In the following example we added two Python Destinations to a Rule:
First Python as Destination show some information about the two Var we will be using: psFileName and psFilePath
Second Python as Destination will use a file we found in the source to copy it to a Destination

Running a python script with Command as source but rule doesn’t end
Running a python script with Command as source but rule doesn’t end
Q: I’m trying to setup a rule with a cmd as source, it executes a python script. When I execute the rule, it works well (I have the expected result), but the rule doesn’t end. So, I don’t have any output in the Limagito GUI.
It seems that the process continues to run :
20/01/2025 12:08:02 Execute Rule Request from administrator at 192.168.92.38 []
20/01/2025 12:08:02 Execute Command as Source: [CMD] Command, Command Line: CMD /C python xxx\mediaprint_api_v3.py
20/01/2025 12:08:02 Set CMD as Source Output to C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\LimagitoX\LimagitoX.83\
20/01/2025 12:08:02 Execute M1 Command, Exception Error: Cannot perform this operation when process is running
20/01/2025 12:08:02 Execute Command as Source Succes, ExitCode : 4294967295, Result Path: C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\LimagitoX\LimagitoX.83\
20/01/2025 12:08:07 Rule Disabled by administrator at 192.168.92.38 []
Should I check an option when configuring the rule to avoid that ?
A: You are using CMD /C so that part is OK. I guess you need to add something to the python script that will close afterwards.
