[solved] Calculate if today or tomorrow is a holiday

I'm trying to check if today is a holiday to set a variable to true. For that I use the following python-script to detect:

Code: Select all

#! /usr/bin/env python2.5
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------#
# Check if today is a holiday and return true

If I execute this script in terminal, I get the output "Today is a holiday" (or not) correctly. How can I use this script in Indigo as a condition? It fails on "import datetime"... Expexted end of line , etc. but found identifier

Update: Updated my code due to the help of autolog. I use the script now not as the condition but as the action.
Update 2: Updated my code with the ability to check if tomorrow is a holiday and I store now the name of the holiday

Despite looking I can't find the relevant Indigo documentation but I suspect that it only allows Applescript and not Python. It could be an area that hasn't been updated yet?

I think this is the case because where you can use Python, Indigo normally lets you choose between Applescript and Python.

You don't say how you are trying to run this but assuming it is an a daily schedule, you might be better off including it as an action: Server Action > Script and File Actions > Execute Script.

You will also need to change your print statement to something like:

Code: Select all

indigo.server.log(u'Today is a holiday')

If you are trying to set a variable you could do that in your script

Example from Indigo variable documentation:

Code: Select all

indigo.variable.updateValue(123, value="New Value")

Ahh... could be the solution. If I use the script in the 'Action' tab (yes, I use it in a daily shedule) and changed the print statement to indigo.server.log(u'Today is a holiday') it works

Thanks a lot!

Correct, Python scripts can't currently be used in Conditions, though as that post indicates you can accomplish the same thing by pushing the conditional logic down into a script action.

Indigo 7.4 is now available and includes support for Python embedded conditional scripts (inside Triggers and Schedules).
