Crashing with wildcard on Windows

[Iago Santos]

Tried:

pycco apps/*.py 
pycco apps\*.py 

The result is always:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\...\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\lib\runpy.py", line 193, in _run_module_as_main
    "__main__", mod_spec)

    exec(code, run_globals)

    with open(dest, "wb") as f:

My project structure is something like:

- apps
  - common
  - core
  - more_modules
- docs

Hi there, sorry to say I don’t have access to a Windows machine to test this. However if you want to submit a fix I’d be delighted to review it.

I am a bit lazy to merge those changes to the master branch, but this works for me in def main():
import glob
...

    if os.name == 'nt' and args.sources:
        n = []
        for i in args.sources:
            n += glob.glob(i)
    else:
        n = args.sources

    process(n, outdir=outdir, preserve_paths=args.paths,
            language=args.language, index=args.generate_index,
            skip=args.skip_bad_files)

I have the same issue, is there any fix?

OS: Windows 10
Python: 3.10.4
Pip: 22.2.2
Pycco: 0.6.0
Tested: 13 Sep 2022

I know this has been open since 2019 but I just ran into the same issue today after I installed Pycco. The docs at https://pycco-docs.github.io/pycco/ say "you can run it from the command-line: pycco src/*.py" however, when using the * wildcard it returns OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument: 'docs\\*.html'

I was able to get it to run by just removing the * wildcard. Running pycco src/ or pycco src/ -p worked just fine for me. It generated docs for all the .py files in the sub directories. I would try just passing the folder names that you want pycco to generate docs for without the *.

Potential solution for original poster : pycco apps/ instead of pycco apps/*
