Espanso: Python script returns blank space

[psyguy]

Hi,

I am trying to run the following python script (located in /scripts/ of the folder containing default.yml):

import time

number = int(time.time())
base36 = ''
alphabet = "0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"

if number < len(alphabet):
    base36 = alphabet[number]
else:
    while number != 0:
        number, i = divmod(number, len(alphabet))
        base36 = alphabet[i] + base36

print(base36)

With the following command:

  - trigger: ":pyscript"
    replace: "{{output}}"
    vars:
      - name: "output"
        type: script
        params:
          args:
            - python
            - "%CONFIG%/scripts/time2base36.py"

But espanso returns a blank space. What am I doing wrong?

(I tried it first with bash script and had the same issue as I asked on Reddit a few hours ago. I blamed my bash-illiteracy though 😄, and tried it in Python.)

In my case all working, try this.

  - trigger: ":test"
    replace: "{{output}}"
    vars:
      - name: output
        type: shell
        params:
          cmd: "python /home/hammer/Documents/_HOME/dry-python-bot/2.py"

Hey @psyguy,
Your program should work at this point, so that's strange. A couple of things you could try:

• Specify the full path of the python interpreter
• Examine the output of espanso log to check the error message.

Cheers :)

The error log read:

13:32:04 [ WARN] Shell command reported error:
python : The term 'python' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

The issue was solved by adding the full path to the python interpreter.

Thanks @Hammer2900 and @federico-terzi 🙃.
