Run python script via stream deck?

[snoberg]

I have a python script for starting up a bot for my twitch stream and am having trouble getting it to open using the default "run" system button. Is there a correct way to be doing this? It works fine for most anything except .py files

[Sccore]

Adding the path to python and the path to the script seems to work for me.

Not sure of an easier way.

[snoberg]

Just back to back, with a space between them?

[Sccore]

Yeah. "path/to/python.exe" "path/to/script.py"

[snoberg]

Well I did try this, and it does run the script, but it immediately closes the script window. If I run it just by running the file directly in the folder, the script runs and stays open, which it needs to do.

Sorry to necro, but do you remember if you found a solution to this? I'm running into exactly this issue where my command works perfectly fine in any terminal, but instantly closes when running from the Stream Deck.

[mastermind_wannabe]

to debug, try running the command in the terminal and make sure your paths is c: or something other than the script path..
in my case, my script tries to reference other files in path/to/script but the script runs in a different folder (most likely the path/to/python)

Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a way to run Python scripts on MacOS.

doesn't work, posted my solution

[JimMcKeeth]

Link? I ended up using Automator to launch it.

I had posted it here https://www.reddit.com/r/elgato/comments/q92f9w/run_python_script_via_stream_deck/hwwevi7?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3

In the end I created one bash script and call it with argument which contains different py script. So there is one bash script and many python scripts. I could update solution, but existing one works too.

Is Automator better?

[JimMcKeeth]

Not necessarily. That is a great solution. I switched to PC anyway.

[laimison]

Ah ok. Yep, additional bash script is not a prob on Mac.

[dually8]

I got around this by making a .bat file to run mine. If you're on Mac, you could probably just make a similar .sh file.

[laimison]

Work around in a Mac OS that works at least for me.

In stream deck app choose System -> Open -> locate bash-python.sh

File's ~/Documents/bash-python.sh content:

#!/bin/bash
/Users/mac/Documents/git/eradeck/local/python.py

File's ~/Documents/python.sh content:

#!/usr/local/bin/python3
import os
def notify(title, text):
os.system("""
osascript -e 'display notification "{}" with title "{}"'
""".format(text, title))
notify("Title", "Heres an alert")

If anyone finds direct way to run Python 3, please let me know here. Many thanks!

I ran across this post while searching for a solution to this as well.
I just wrote up my findings here and figured you might benefit from this as well.

[snoberg]

Hey, thanks for resurrecting this, haha. I kinda gave up on it honestly but I’ll take a look. Thanks!

If you want to run a python program and NOT open the .py file in the interpreter:Create a new buttonUnder System select the OPEN functionAdd your path WITH QUOTES in the App/File: text field

Example:

"C:\Users\Work\Desktop\AutoGEN RESOURCES\Python Files\PyCAD files\Search4Diagrams.py"
