Hello all,
Before I really start getting into it, is anyone working on, or finished a pyx external that does what "shell" had done? (to solve the stability issues)
I figured something that runs os.system() on an arbitrary string would be a good enough start, though coercing the _anything_ *args into a string seems to be challenging me.
Anyhow I just wanted to throw it out in case someone is already using such a thing.
Thanks, B.
Hi,

do you mean "".join(map(str,*args)) ?

no sorry, if args is a sequence i think you rather mean
os.system(" ".join(map(str,args)))
In this case the arguments are separated by spaces.

Hi Thomas!
I have something working, but looks like I need to use os.popen4 to capture the output.
Ah, the map trick is much more concise than a for loop.
I may be done soon enough, hope I'm not overdoing too much of someone else's work, since I think shell needs a stable replacement!

Hey Thomas ++
Is there any flext/pyx magic for converting from python types to PD types?
The way I'm using shell has two cases:
1. it only returns a single number (cpu or memory usage)
2. 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..
looping through all the types and testing is the string could be coerced seems less fun.
Thanks, .b.

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.
