I have several shortcuts which use the Run Pythonista Script action and they run fine on my iPhone. However if I try to launch them using the Shortcuts app on the Apple Watch, I get an error which says I must first install Pythonista on the Watch. I presume that is not possible but I would be satisfied if the shortcut (launched from the watch) would run on the phone and send the result to the watch or speak it if the speech module was invoked. Is this doable?

Anyone else tried to run a shortcut from the Apple Watch that executes a Pythonista script?

@ihf, I am not seeing anything on the net that would say that launching a separate app on iPhone is an Apple Watch Shortcuts feature. Maybe request it, seems like it could be generally useful.

Hi @mikael. I am trying to use the existing Pythonista Shortcuts action which runs a Pythonista script. However, from the watch (not the phone) I get the error as described above. (https://imgur.com/sLLZ3ny)

@ihf, what I meant was that I think this is a missing feature by Apple, and putting in a feature request to Apple might not be a bad idea.
