@Python567 and, please, don't forget the time.sleep between two successive tests

Python567

@cvp ok, now my app crashed, but the skript isn‘t long

cvp

@Python567 if not long, post it

Python567

@cvp I think I have the problem why the app crashed. I have while True:

cvp

@Python567 you have to foresee a way to leave (break) this infinite loop.

Python567

@cvp two questions:

If I open a shortcut on ios with the shortcuts module the app shortcut is open, can I close it from the skript or can I bring Pythonista to the front?
How can I change the language for this code:

t = f"{datetime.datetime.now():%A}"

It depends: how do you open the shortcuts module?
Anyway, you can't never close an app from another app

Python567

@cvp I open it with

shortcuts.open_shortcuts_app(name='', shortcut_input='')

And how can I change the language on the code which I posted before?

Normally, Python allows the locale.setlocale function to do that, but it has never worked in the past.
I know I did it viaObjectiveC but I don't find my script, let me some time, not free this morning.

Of course, if somebody knows a way, don't hesitate to help.

I think you can ask shortcut to go back to Pythonista...

Python567

@cvp Yes that‘s a good idea. I found following in the documentation, but I don‘t know how the set it in german

Weekday as locale’s abbreviated name.
Sun, Mon, ..., Sat (en_US);
So, Mo, ..., Sa (de_DE)
(1)
%A Weekday as locale’s full name.
Sunday, Monday, ..., Saturday (en_US);
Sonntag, Montag, ..., Samstag (de_DE)

cvp

@Python567 the doc = Python doc but locale did never function in Pythonista

Python567

@cvp it‘s the pythonista doc

cvp

@Python567 yes but this Pythonista doc, for Python keywords, points to standard doc. And this locale function has never worked.

cvp

About the shortcut, do you want to open Shortuts app, execute a shortcut and come back in your script or only open Pythonista

Python567

@cvp I want to execute a shortcut and come back to my skript

cvp

Even if I drunk too much 🍷

import datetime
from objc_util import *

NSDateFormatter = ObjCClass('NSDateFormatter')
dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter.alloc().init()

NSLocale = ObjCClass('NSLocale')
deLocale = NSLocale.alloc().initWithLocaleIdentifier_(ns('de'))
dateFormatter.setLocale_(deLocale)

NSDate = ObjCClass('NSDate')
date = NSDate.alloc().init()

now = f"{datetime.datetime.now():%d/%m/%Y}"

# see https://coderwall.com/p/jj6k_a/quick-guide-to-objective-c-dateformatting
dateFormatter.setDateFormat_('dd/MM/yyyy')
date = dateFormatter.dateFromString_(now)

dateFormatter.setDateFormat_('EEEE')
now_day_in_German = str(dateFormatter.stringFromDate_(date))
print(now_day_in_German)

If you want an abbreviated name, use

dateFormatter.setDateFormat_('EE')

Please, read carefully this topic and try with short script and shortcut.

I didn't retry....

cvp

You can also use, for month name

dateFormatter.setDateFormat_('MMM')
now_day_in_German = str(dateFormatter.stringFromDate_(date))
print(now_day_in_German)

dateFormatter.setDateFormat_('MMMM')
now_day_in_German = str(dateFormatter.stringFromDate_(date))
print(now_day_in_German)

cvp

Or

dateFormatter.setDateFormat_('EEEE dd MMMM yyyy')
now_day_in_German = str(dateFormatter.stringFromDate_(date))
print(now_day_in_German)
