I've had Indigo trigger external shell scripts in the past, so I know the very basics.
But I'm getting tired of a couple of my embedded Python camera control scripts timing out, and want to make them external scripts.
All my searching either finds Advanced Topics, or stuff about converting AppleScripts.
Is there something to this besides saving an external text file with the script? I imagine there's some up front stuff required, like a shell script requires, so I think I probably need to add something besides just the script to the file.
Does Indigo need each external script to declare the path to Python? Tutorials like https://www.pythonforbeginners.com/deve ... on-scripts aren't really addressing what I need to know.
Apologies if my search-fu isn't up to snuff, but searching here didn't result in something that addresses my particular level of cluelessness. Like down to which file extension to use: .py or .pyw?
