Re: [PyPerforce] how to pass the global options to run command

Hi Yuan,

Sorry for the delay, I've been away from my email recently.

You can setup these parameters using the attributes on the Connection
object.

eg.

-----
#!/bin/python
import perforce

p4 = perforce.Connection()
p4.user = "myname"
p4.port = "testserver:1666"
p4.client = "clientspecName"

p4.connect()
info = p4.run("info").records[0]
p4.disconnect()

if info['clientName'] == "*unknown*":
  print "client doesn't exist"
else:
  print "client does exist"

I hope that helps.

Cheers,
Lewis.
