Cannot get rtorrent to run python script

[Span24]

I am trying to get rtorrent to run a python script after download completion. No matter what I do the script is not running. I am also unable to get any logging to help track the problem down. I've tried debug logging and nothing related to the running of the script is found. I can execute the script without issue from the console. Here is the line im using to execute the script from rtorrent.rc:

system.method.set_key = event.download.finished,orpheus-better,"execute=/usr/share/orpheusbetter-crawler/orpheusbetter.py"

To TRY to troubleshoot I have a line in the .py code to create a simple .txt file. When executed from the console the file is created and the expected processing of the script takes place. From rtorrent, following successful download, I get nothing.

Any help to correct my system.method.set_key line or a way to get rtorrent to log what's going on would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

You can use log.execute to set a log file where rTorrent will print all of the execute.* commands and the return codes. It can grow pretty big, so it's best to only enable it while troubleshooting. Some simple things to check first:

• does the rTorrent user have access to the script?
• is the script marked as executable?
  • if it is, does the shebang at the beginning point to the correct python path?
