Is it possible to read the script output?

[DavideCampagna]

await SeriousPython.run(
      'pyScripts/summarize.py',
      appFileName: 'summarize.py',
      environmentVariables: {'text': text},
      sync: true
    );

The script is ran with the code above. Is it possible to read and monitor from dart the script output print?

Are you running on iOS or Android?

[DavideCampagna]

Hi, both of them.
I’m developing an app for both iOS and Android.
Basically, at needed time I need to run specific python scripts to do basic elaboration.
For example, this summarize.py get as an input a String, summarize it using an ML pretrained model and prints the summarized string.
I want to retrive the summarized string 😁
Is it possible?
Anyway, thank you for you support 😁

Hi Davide,

I see at least two options:

1. Using in.txt and out.txt files to input some data to a Python program and get results. Create in.txt in Dart with input, run Python which reads in.txt and puts output to out.txt, read out.txt in Dart.
2. Establish a socket (UDS) server in Dart and connect it from Python.

Let me know what you think.

Hi!
Thank you 😀
At the end I decided to build a flask app as a backend accessed via API bi the dart code.
What do you think about this approach?

[FeodorFitsner]

Yeah, sounds good. Flask backend is in one of the examples: https://github.com/flet-dev/serious-python/tree/main/example/flask_example
