Using siri to run pythonista scripts
-
Piggybacking on the other voice input thread... is it possible? I can tell siri to open pythonista but I have no idea if I can tell her to open and run a certain script.... I have a dream, and that dream is me ordering pizzas with one button click and a single voice command.

It's not possible for third-party apps to have Siri integration.
-
It seems logical for Siri to be allowed to launch web-apps, but it seems it can't. I'll keep an eye out and see if this changes in iOS 8, but I don't think it will.

@omz Pythonista can add the voice record function?
-
@Zoyt well hey there old friend.
-
I hear iOS 10 now supports Siri integration..! Please please please :)

With an @omz this time...

Support for third-party apps in Siri is still quite limited in iOS 10, and wouldn't work for things like running scripts in response to voice commands. There are a couple of (7, I think) pre-defined extension points available for things like ordering a car (Uber...), booking a table, sending a text message (WhatsApp…) and so on, but none that would fit for Pythonista, so this won't happen anytime soon, I'm afraid.
