      The error message points to line #3...
      Which reads:
      SCRIPTS_DIR = "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\ScratchHolograms-master" PYTHON_PATH = "C:\Python27" ...

      You must always escape the \ folder de-liminator within ANY "" - OR use '' or / etc.
      So change these everywhere to be something like one of these examples...
      SCRIPTS_DIR = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\Administrator\\My Documents\\ScratchHolograms-master" ...
      or
      SCRIPTS_DIR = 'C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\ScratchHolograms-master' ...
      or
      SCRIPTS_DIR = "C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/My Documents/ScratchHolograms-master" ...
      or
      SCRIPTS_DIR = 'C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/My Documents/ScratchHolograms-master' ...

      The ' /' is the safer folder-path de-liminator...
      The \ within "" is taken as an escape character, like in \n == Newline and \t == Tab...

          you have spaces before and after draw_pattern.py which may be the issue...

              EDIT:
              I now realize it's about the Windows need for trapping spaces in file paths - change it thus:
              Change your paths to keep the \ - the system-calls expect them NOT /:
              SCRIPTS_DIR = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\Administrator\\My Documents\\ScratchHolograms-master" PYTHON_PATH = "C:\\Python27"
              Then enclose the two parts of the system-call inside "" :
              IO.popen('"'+PYTHON_PATH+"\\draw_pattern.py"+'" "'+base_dir+"\\"+proposal+'"')

                  have a look at Dan's
                  [Plugin] Hypocycloid Cam Profile Generator v1.0.0 http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=470834#p470834
                  it was based on a python [py/dxf] script that I couldn't get to run...
                  he reworked it to SU ruby, may be a simpler approach...

                    I'm no expert on 'python' but isn't the cmd code more like this:

                    path_to_py argument(s)

                    Also have you got 'python' set up right in cmd window ?

                    ftype Python26.File="C:\Python26\python.exe" "%1" %
                    assoc .py=Python26.File*

                    AND then run it...

                    IO.popen('"'+PYTHON_PATH+"\\draw_pattern.py+'" "'+base_dir+"\\"+proposal+'"')
                    OR
                    **system**('"'+PYTHON_PATH+"\\draw_pattern.py+'" "'+base_dir+"\\"+proposal+'"')

                    OR perhaps the .py part can't be inside "" ?

                    Read this about file associations... http://eli.thegreenplace.net/2010/12/14/problem-passing-arguments-to-python-scripts-on-windows/

                        My typo !
                        2 missing characters...

                        IO.popen('"'+PYTHON_PATH+"\\%(#0000FF)["+]draw_pattern.py+'" "'+base_dir+"\\"+proposal+'"')

                        If you view your code in Notepad++ with suitable RB syntax coloring it's clearly wrong...

                                        I assume the .py and .pattern files exist ?
                                        Try this instead - there was a missing \ before ' proposal':
                                        d = system('"'+PYTHON_PATH+'\draw_pattern.py" "'+base_dir%(#0000FF)[+"\\"]+proposal+'"')
                                        If you paste this into a Windows cmd window [including the "s] does it work ?
                                        "C:\Python27\draw_pattern.py" "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents%(#0000FF)[\]**Untitled**.pattern" - substitute the **Untitled** with another name if appropriate...

                                            So it's working, sort of... πŸ˜•
                                            d is set to the result of the system call...
                                            Then if fails at:
                                            while d.gets != nil puts d.gets end
                                            Because ' d' is ' false' !
                                            Why no add a puts d just after the system call to see what you are getting...
                                            I suspect it'll NOT be complex data - just success/failure true/false ??

                                            Also in the screen-cast the .py extension was not recognized as being associated with Python !
                                            Go back a few posts to see my advice and the links etc, on ensuring this is set up correctly...

                                            Also in the screen-cast the file was named Untitled.pattern**abc** ?
                                            Why the extra characters ?

                                            When you run the .py what do you expect ?
                                            If it's 'data' then I suggest you get the .py to write it into to a [temporary] file then use IO.read on it in Ruby to get that data...
                                            You might need to add a sleep and test for the existence of that file before using IO, as once you launch the Python process it will run separately from the Ruby side...
