You can run Python scripts on an Elgato Stream Deck by either using the official Stream Deck software with a custom action or by directly controlling the device via a Python library. Below are two common approaches.

Using Official Stream Deck Software with System Action

Step 1: Prepare Your Python Script

• Save your Python code in a .py file, e.g., myscript.py.

• Ensure it runs correctly from the terminal:

Step 2: Create a Batch or Shell Wrapper

• On Windows, create a .bat file:

• On macOS/Linux, create a .sh file:

Step 3: Add to Stream Deck

• Open the Stream Deck app.

• Drag the System → Open action to a button.

• Point it to your .bat or .sh file.

Using Python-Elgato-StreamDeck Library

This method bypasses the official software and lets you control the Stream Deck directly in Python.

Step 1: Install the Library

Step 2: Write Python Code to Bind Actions
