Hi,
I would like to make a suggestion for an improvement of the Python API reference. What I tried is starting
RoboDK using explicit input values (although these are the default values):

Code:

robodk_ip='localhost'
port=None
args=''
robodk_path='C:\\RoboDK\\bin\\RoboDK.exe'

RDK = Robolink(robodk_ip, port, args, robodk_path)

It raises a type error stating that a concatenation of list and string is not possible (see attachment). Looking into robolink.py it becomes clear that the inputs ofrobodk_pathandargsare being concatenated. Whererobodk_pathis transformed to a list automatically,args移交是吗is declared in the first place (see attachment), in this case as a string.

The correct version of the code above would be:

Code:

robodk_ip='localhost'
port=None
args=[]
robodk_path='C:\\RoboDK\\bin\\RoboDK.exe'

RDK = Robolink(robodk_ip, port, args, robodk_path)

It is really not a big deal but it might be worth mentioning that command line arguments should be given as list:

Hi David,

Thank you for letting us know. We just updated the documentation.

We also improved this function to accept strings with the latest version (Windows 64 bit only, for now). Providing a string will behave as one argument (even if you have one or more spaces).
