error running rM2PDF.py

[pybe]

I updated both scripts with the path I wanted. Sync ran fine:

Thu Sep 26 13:00:54 BST 2019

BEGIN BACKUP
scp "[email protected]:/home/root/.local/share/remarkable/xochitl/" /mnt/chromeos/GoogleDrive/MyDrive/rM2PDF/original_pdf/
BACKUP END

but when I run rM2PDF.py I get:

./rM2PDF.py: line 7: input_dir: command not found
./rM2PDF.py: line 8: output_dir: command not found
./rM2PDF.py: line 9: t: command not found

and the script appears to hang there. Stopping it with a couple of ctrl+c gives:

^C^C./rM2PDF.py: line 16: note_line: command not found
./rM2PDF.py: line 17: syntax error near unexpected token `('
./rM2PDF.py: line 17: `for file in os.listdir(input_dir):'

Here is the edited paths section from rM2PDF.py

#--------------------------------------------------#
# set input_dir and output_dir as same as rMsync.sh
input_dir = '/mnt/chromeos/GoogleDrive/MyDrive/rM2PDF/original_pdf/'
output_dir = '/mnt/chromeos/GoogleDrive/MyDrive/rM2PDF/noted_pdf/'
t = '/mnt/chromeos/GoogleDrive/MyDrive/rM2PDF/temporary/'
#--------------------------------------------------#

@pybe Thank you for your report! I'm busy these days. Will check it and give you back next week.

No problem thanks for sparing some time. If you can think of any dumb user things for me to rule out let me know.

@pybe Aha. You need to run like this python rM2PDF.py.

[pybe]

ok did that and it immediately finished (returned to prompt) with no output and appears to have done nothing...
