Use Applescript variable in Python command line

Question

Using automator
Python Shell Output -> [1,2,3,4,5]
goes to Applescript
Run Applescript ->
on run {input}
    set seq_list_appscript to {}
    do shell script "python -c 'for s in input: print s'"
end run
it doesn't work . . . how can I call the "input" which is an Applescript variable within the "do shell script" python command line ?

Answer 1

If the input is actually a list of items, then you would need to iterate through them or coerce the list to something for the command line.  If the input is just the text "[1,2,3,4,5]", then the variable just needs to be inserted into the text of your script statement - the results of the script are returned by the do shell script command, so they can also be assigned to a variable:
    set whatever to (do shell script "python -c 'for s in " & input & ": print s'")
    display dialog whatever
