MM and Custom Python Script

sdetweil

@extra my code can be used to display, and fade out would be a css setting

@sdetweil So your PythonPrint module will let me run my python script as MM is running, correct?

And how would I get the print statements to appear like the compliments (same font size, transitions. And if I have 2 sentences that need to be displayed it breaks up the words and fades them in/out in order)?

So basically, I press a button(which unmutes my mic), say my command, and have the results displayed to MM.

Here’s a sample of my python script:

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                            #Search Wikipedia (General Info)
    #-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    if ('weather' not in command): 
        if ('who is' in command) or ('what is the' in command) or ('what is a' in command) or ("what is" in command):
            if ('time' not in command):
                if ('news' not in command):
                    speak('Searching Wikipedia...')
                    command = command.replace("who is","")
                    command = command.replace("what is the","")
                    command = command.replace("what is a","")
                    command = command.replace("what is","")
                    results = wikipedia.summary(command, sentences = 2)
                    #----------------------
                    #Auto typing animation:
                    print("Baxter: ", end="")
                    for i in results:
                        sys.stdout.write(i)
                        sys.stdout.flush()
                        time.sleep(0.05)
                    print("\n")
                    #----------------------
                    speak(results) 
    #-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                    #Search Wolfram Alpha (Math/Conversions, Definitions)
    #-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    if ('weather' not in command):
        if ('news' not in command):
            if ('calculate' in command) or ("what's" in command) or ('define' in command):
                speak('Searching Wolfram Alpha...')
                command = command.replace("calculate","")
                command = command.replace("what's","")
                command = command.replace("define","")
                # Wolframalpha App Id
                appId = ''
                # Wolfram Instance
                client = wolframalpha.Client(appId)
                res = client.query(''.join(command))
                results = next(res.results).text
                #----------------------
                #Auto typing animation:
                print("Baxter: ", end="")
                for i in results:
                    sys.stdout.write(i)
                    sys.stdout.flush()
                    time.sleep(0.05)
                print("\n")
                #----------------------
                speak(results)

@extra my code puts the stdout output of the python script onto the page

you just need to specify css classes in custom.css

try the sample… it launches a python script that runs forever and prints output, the node_helper gets it and sends to module

module displays…

			wrapper.innerHTML = this.config.message;
			wrapper.className += "PythonPrint"

so just set the class values in custom.css

.MMM-PythonPrint .PythonPrint { 
   font-size:24px;
   color: yellow;
}

@sdetweil Thanks will do. I just got a little confused, thanks for the clarification.

@extra u can use my code as the base for what u need, but it does 95%

splitting lines

easy in JavaScript, split()

how to handle the different lines… that’s your design and implementation
my code assumes one blob of text.
