Help With Shelf

[pdub787]

This may be more of a linux question, but I'm working through the Multi-Clipboard project in Automate the Boring Stuff. The code runs perfectly when executed directly from the shell. The keywords/content are stored in the shelf file and can be recalled with the list key word.

#! python3
# mcb.pyw - Saves and loads pieces of text to the clipboard.
# Usage:    py.exe mcb.pyw save <keyword> - Saves clipbard to keyword.
#           py.exe mcb.pyw <keyword> - Loads keyword to clipboard.
#           py.exe mcb.pyw list - Loads all keywords to clipboard.

import shelve, pyperclip, sys

mcbShelf = shelve.open('mcb')

# Save clipboard content.
if len(sys.argv) == 3 and sys.argv[1].lower() == 'save':
    mcbShelf[sys.argv[2]] = pyperclip.paste()
elif len(sys.argv) == 2:
    # List keywords and load content.
    if sys.argv[1].lower() == 'list':
        pyperclip.copy(str(list(mcbShelf.keys())))
    elif sys.argv[1] in mcbShelf:
        pyperclip.copy(mcbShelf[sys.argv[1]])
        
mcbShelf.close()

The issue I'm having is executing this with a .command file. When executed from spotlight it should prompt the user for a keyword and append it to the list of keywords in the shelf file. What I've tried are different variations of:

-----
#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo "Enter a keyword for the text to be stored"
read ANYTHING
python3.7 /users/patrick/code/python/projects/automation/mcb.pyw $ANYTHING
-----

When I run the list keyword in shell it only returns the original keywords I had previously stored.

Again...might be something for a linux forum, but thought I'd try here first.

Cheers!

I think it should be python3.7 /users/patrick/code/python/projects/automation/mcb.pyw save $ANYTHING
