python script fails in hazel, works in terminal

Hi there. I use Hazel (among many other things) to copy the public URL for files I add to my Dropbox public folder. It watches that folder and just runs a simple python script. Been using the same script forever. In the last few days it seems to have stopped working. Using 3.0.5.

Here's the error being logged:

Code: Select all: 5/1/12 1:31:30.225 PM [0x0-0x16d16d].com.noodlesoft.HazelHelper: Python error: <stdin> is a directory, cannot continue

And here's the script (saved as it's own file—not embedded (although I tried that too to same effect)):

Code: Select all: #!/usr/bin/python import sys import urllib import syslog import os syslog.openlog("system") file = sys.argv[1] encFile = urllib.quote(file) encFile = os.path.basename(encFile) url = "http://dl.dropbox.com/u/obscured/" + encFile cmd = "echo %s | pbcopy" % url os.system(cmd) cmd = '/usr/local/bin/growlnotify -n "script" -a "Terminal.app" -m "Dropbox URL copied for\n%s"' % os.path.basename(file) syslog.syslog(syslog.LOG_INFO, cmd) os.system(cmd) syslog.closelog()

Any ideas?

There seems to be a oddly random thing that I've been noticing on and off. Can you try reinstalling Hazel? Use the following procedure:

- Quit System Preferences.
- Go to your Library/PreferencePanes folder and throw away Hazel.prefPane
- Download the latest version from the site.
- Move the new Hazel.prefPane to Library/PreferencePanes
- Launch System Preferences and load up Hazel.

If that doesn't work, email me as I may need you to try some test builds.

Any update on this? Did reinstalling Hazel work? Do we know the culprit yet?

I don't recall what the outcome was here but if you are having problems, I suggest posting specific details.
