I wanna make a python script to open a certain app whenever I am not playing any video games any ideas how to do that??? your help is appreciated

CodePudding user response：

You can achieve this fairly simply by doing:

import os
os.chdir("C:/game/location")#enter where the game's .exe file is located
os.system("game.exe")#enter the exe filename

To open the certain app, install psutil with pip install psutil. Then:

import psutil
games_list = ["minecraft.exe"] #game exe file

for app in psutil.process_iter():
    if app.name() in games_list:
        print("Game {app.name()} open.") #output - "Game minecraft.exe open."
