[PD-dev] pyx shell replacement

[B. Bogart]

Hey Thomas ++

Is there any flext/pyx magic for converting from python types to PD types?

The way I'm using shell has two cases:

1. it only returns a single number (cpu or memory usage)

2. it executes an xset command, and does not care about output.

So for now I'm assuming these cases.

Ideally it would be nice if a command output this: "0 10 0.3" then
outlet would send a list of three floats. "0 dog" as a message of a
float and a symbol etc..

looping through all the types and testing is the string could be coerced
seems less fun.

Thanks,
.b.
