Trying to run my python script in terminal


I'm new to Python and trying to automate a process on my computer, but I'm having trouble. I've already written my Python script with what I want to print, but I'd like to have my own code to press enter after that. I tried "keyboard.press(Key.enter)," but my code does not run on the terminal.

Here is the code:

from pynput.keyboard import Key, Controller

keyboard = Controller()

print(''"export SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID='123'"'')
print(''"export SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET='123'"'')

keyboard.press(Key.enter)
keyboard.release(Key.enter)
#suppose to press return


print('savify "https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZEVXbMDoHDwVN2tF?si=eac8b42e32934a6c" -q best -f mp3 -o "/Users/" -g "%artist%/%album%"')

keyboard.press(Key.enter)
keyboard.release(Key.enter)
#suppose to press return

I expected it to run my program but it just goes to the other line.


Solution

  • I understood your problem, don't print those commands, instead go to the CLI tab and type them.

    import pyautogui as gui
    import time
    
    time.sleep(5) # Time you should take to switch to the command line tab on foreground
    
    gui.write("export SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID='123'")
    gui.write("export SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET='123'")
    
    gui.press('enter')
    #suppose to press return
    
    gui.write('savify "https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZEVXbMDoHDwVN2tF?si=eac8b42e32934a6c" -q best -f mp3 -o "/Users/" -g "%artist%/%album%"')
    
    gui.press('enter')
    #suppose to press return
