Hi Ben,
Is there any flext/pyx magic for converting from python types to PD types?
The way I'm using shell has two cases:
it only returns a single number (cpu or memory usage)
it executes an xset command, and does not care about output.
So for now I'm assuming these cases.
Ideally it would be nice if a command output this: "0 10 0.3" then outlet would send a list of three floats. "0 dog" as a message of a float and a symbol etc..
this is done exactly like this by the py/pyext external. Attached is a patch and a script that can act as a shell replacement.
