Run python code async?

[muaz]

Hi, I want to ask I write a python code to save images and sent o api. I use async await in my code. I add a shell script and write the path where my python file is. but the KM is not running this. When I write the same path in terminal then it runs and works but not in KM.

Get "Execute a shell script" working

I think you'll find that it's always the same issue when a question title includes "Shell Script". (The question is asked dozens of times every year, and you will find quite a lot of coverage of it here). The point is that (fortunately for debugging, script sharing etc etc) an Execute Shell Script action gets a pristine vanilla instance of the shell. It doesn't depend on, and not related to, the instance set up by other applications like Terminal.app, and it needs you to either: Define a va…

You will need to specify the full path to any executables (like the python interpreter)

(it's not enough to provide the full path to your data files)

I already specify the full path but not running in KM but in terminal

Can you post your macro? I suspect there's an issue with path quoting, but without seeing what you're trying to do, it's tough to say.

@muaz

the full path

To the data or to the python3 executable ?

@muaz

not running in KM but in terminal

These are not the same shell environments.

(The Keyboard Maestro Execute Shell Script action provides a blank sheet of paper. It does not import $PATH, or any other environment variables, from the Terminal.app application)

As @griffman points out, to get help you would need to show your macro.

I am doing this in shell script
/Users/mojoservo/Automation_KM_MUAZ/.venv/bin/python3 /Users/mojoservo/Automation_KM_MUAZ/discord_image.py

This was working when I write another python script. It is giving me response in display text but now I am doing discord code which use async await under the hood and no response is displaying in KM.

Without seeing your macro, and without knowing anything about the Discord add-ons to Python, it's possible that it and KM just aren't compatible: If it's running stuff async, your macro may run and finish running before a reply is received? That's a total guess, though, as we don't know what your macro looks like, and (at least for me) I have never used nor even seen Discord Python code.

(Also conceivable that some aspect of your Python virtual environment depends on shell variables which would need to be exported to – or defined in – the KM shell, but without seeing your macro, it's not easy for anyone to help)
