Hi, yes you can' the trick if your using workflow is to use a custom x-success callback that is "args" which will allow pythonista to return the value.
here is a sample pythonista script that will return a result to workflow.io
#!/usr/bin/env python
# workflow.py
import sys,json,urllib
from datetime import datetime
import console,webbrowser,clipboard
def main():
console.clear()
console.set_font('Menlo',12)
console.set_color(1,1,1)
#print json.dumps(sys.argv, indent=4)
dtf = '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'
output = dict(
when=datetime.now().strftime(dtf),
args=sys.argv
)
result = json.dumps(output,indent=4)
print(result)
x_callback=sys.argv[-1]
if not '://' in x_callback:
return
url = x_callback + '?argv=' + urllib.quote(result)
webbrowser.open(url)
if __name__ == '__main__': main()
and to call is use this x-callback-url request
pythonista://workflow.py?action=run&argv=1&argv=2
Here is a dropbox link to a workflow.io flow that uses the above pythonista workflow.py code.
workflow.io to pythonista.py
