Python help

Hi,

Just got my packet squirrel, how do i use squirrel script to access the LED and BUTTON.  I getting it working in Bash, but not python?

Can you explain how you're calling the Bash commands in Python?

I’m not calling bash commands from python.  I can type LED SETUP at a command prompt and this works as expected.  If I add the same command to a .py file it doesn’t work.  Do I need to import a library to python first?

LED and BUTTON are bash functions, so they won't work in Python.

You can probably use a Python library to call bash functions, though. E.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4256107/running-bash-commands-in-python

Thanks, that was my thoughts, different to what the docs say! 

‘These commands simplify interfacing with the hardware and may be called from payloads written in bash, python and PHP, or directly from the console via SSH.’

That is a bit unclear, sorry about the confusion.

I think it's talking about the fact that payloads can be written in different languages, not just bash. Sorry about the confusion, maybe @Sebkinne can add this to his ever-growing LOT (list of things)?
