This simple code will check to see if IMVU exists and if it does, run it.

Code
import os
import subprocess

#Define IMVU client location
clientpath = os.environ['APPDATA'] + "\IMVUClient\IMVUClient.exe"

if os.path.isfile(clientpath):
    try:
        subprocess.call(clientpath)
    except IOError as e:
        print(e)
        input()


To use this code, download and install python 3 from here: http://www.python.org/download/

After that, you have 2 options. 1) You can open IDLE (Python GUI) and paste the code in and just run it. You can also save the script to be used again. 2) You can open a text editor and paste the code in there and save it as "Run IMVU.py". Then you can just double click on the file to launch it.

it basicly opens your imvu client.instead of opening the imvu icon on your desktop you open that file you make in python

Oooh so basically you can create your own IMVU and run it through the program?

No, the code starts the IMVU Client for you. This code performs the same task as double clicking the IMVU shortcut on your desktop.

useful script to run, if u need imvu to startup quickly (no finding the shortcut needed).
im guessing this, if u have loggin info saved for imvu, could this automatically log u in once script is ran?.

Seems to me this is only useful if you are already doing something else in Python and want/need the IMVU client up and running within that context. Am I wrong?

@Soulljah


I think it is more of a proof of concept, for educational purposes than something that is useful. Consider it a curiosity quencher?
