I am trying to make a pic to text code for Python. I run it in Atom(compiler) and it works fine. I run it in Terminal and it runs fine, but I'm trying to do it in automator but it isn't working. Here's the error:
macOS High Sierra (10.13.2)
In the Run Shell Script action, set the Shell selection to /usr/bin/python.
Python does not implicitly know that your PicToText.py script is in your Documents folder, so you must tell it with (the following is all one line and may wrap):
(cd ~/Documents;source ~/.bash_profile;python -d -c ./PicToText.py) > ~/Desktop/PicToText.log
Good to see you contributing again.

I don't understand the apple script part and they Python code isn't making sense.
An Applescript to show user info.

It is easier to diagnose problems with debug information. I suggest adding
log statements to your script to see what is going on. Here is an example.

For testing, run in the Script Editor.
1) Click on the Event Log tab to see the output from the log
statement
2) Click on Run
For running shell commands see:

on run
-- Write a message into the event log.
log " --- Starting on " & ((current date) as string) & " --- "
-- debug lines
set desktopPath to (path to desktop) as string
log "desktopPath = " & desktopPath
set unixDesktopPath to POSIX path of desktopPath
log "unixDesktopPath = " & unixDesktopPath
Here is an applescript to display some system info.
set quotedUnixDesktopPath to quoted form of unixDesktopPath
log "quoted form is " & quotedUnixDesktopPath
try
set fromUnix to do shell script "pwd "
display dialog "pwd " & return & fromUnix giving up after 7
set fromUnix to do shell script "id "
display dialog "id " & return & fromUnix giving up after 7
set fromUnix to do shell script "ls -l " & quotedUnixDesktopPath
display dialog "ls -l of " & quotedUnixDesktopPath & return & fromUnix giving up after 10
on error errMsg
log "ls -l error..." & errMsg
end try
end runThird display not recorded.
I get the same error when I run this script in Yosemite and High Sierra.
