Passing switch variable in script

[rhd_ole]

Just start by saying I'm not a scripting expert but trying to keep expanding my knowledge. I'm using python to manipulate some pdfs, excel, csv etc via execute command.

I've only used the %1 and %2 system variables for the input and output but I'd like to pass some Switch privatedata keys to the script but I'm not sure how like I do with javascript. Anyone able to help?

That sounds like it would work, but really after to to actually write it. I'm going to for sure try this out! Thanks as always.

I just figured it out and not sure why I spaced it, so posting for anyone else that is self-teaching.

variables are just passed in the command line in the execute command.

example: "path to your script" %1 %2 [PrivateData:Key="yourvalue"]

and then in the script they are done as:
argv[0] is reserved and shouldn't be used.
file_path = argv[1]
output_path = argv[2]
your variable in the script' = argv[3] since I'm on MacOS I Use sys.argv[]
and so on...
