Python3 Installation

Cool, thanks, I use Catalina. I was not aware that it is already installed.

Actually, it requires the Xcode command line tools. The first time you try to run "python3" in a terminal window, it'll prompt you to install the tools.

Hi,
I just posted about a python module pyatv to control AppleTV (viewtopic.php?f=5&t=25078#p201320), but this requires python3. I have it installed, and the command line utilities work. However, I would love to integrate this more in Indigo. Is there any way that I can do either one of these?
1. import the pyatv in a python2.7 script;
2. make indigo use python3
Thanks!

No, you can't do either of those. You can call a Python 3 script from Indigo, but you need to use the "Run Shell Script" action as if you were executing a command line script.

That's how I am sending commands to the AppleTV right now. I guess it will be much harder to get status updates from the device.

That action will store the return value from the script into a variable. That should suffice for status.
