Shortcut ios how to access to the input field with a python script

[P4UL-M]

Hey,

I already see the two issues on the subject but i didn't understand how we are supposed to access the input fiel of Shortcut with a python script.

I want to execute a script with Shorcut on my phone. For this I have a script who i execute with the command python test2.py in the cd $SHAREDDIR. I want to add an input to this script so i add one in the input field below but I can't access it. I try to use a classic myvariable = input() but it return an EOFError ( If i understand that say that there is no input), I also try with a sys.stdin.read(i) and ... .readlines(i) but it give me a null result. I also try with fileinput.input() and no more result.

How should I access to this input, can they be use like that or is there another way to do what i want ?

Well i kept looking for a way around the problem, i thought i found after seeing that by executing the code in python 2.7 it worked with input () but in it works only when the input is a number otherwise i gets a NameError: name 'mytext' is not defined orInvalid syntaxt if i add a space. I also try to create a file with echo and then access it with python but the command return nothing so it wait the time out and stop.

I will keep search but if you have a solution that could be great.

In Python 2, the input function actually evaluates the input as Python code (see here). So, you should use the raw_input function instead to get a string.

As for the input though, unfortunately I tried but I could not get any input on Python 3. :(

I tried some other methods, and this seems the best:

It is much easier to pass input as the command itself, and then use sys.argv to access the data (do import sys.argv first).

EDIT: Make sure your data is surrounded with quotation marks (") so that the data appears as a single string.

Thank you, for Python2, I didn't know that there was a different function for string and int it can still be good to know. Sys.argv seems to be the better way, at least that work better than i hoped be able to do. Now i can finish my script !
