# multiplatform

looking to use kotlin multiplatfrom with python anyone got some sort of a starter or an idea on how to do that i have tried making a python module inside my composeApp like so
then i added a python file there. and using expect and actuall i added this TranscribeVideo in JVM but i dont think it seem to run correct it always prints out an empty string

actual fun TranscribeVideo(filepath: String): String {
    var transcript = "nothing"
    try {
        // Build the command to run the Python script
        val command = listOf(
            "python",
            "absolute path to the Python script",
            filepath
        )

        // Execute the Python script
        val process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command.toTypedArray())


        // Read both the standard output and error streams
        val reader = BufferedReader(InputStreamReader(process.inputStream))
        val errorReader = BufferedReader(InputStreamReader(process.errorStream))

        val output = StringBuilder()

        // Read the standard output
        var line: String? = null
        while (reader.readLine().also { line = it } != null) {
            output.append(line).append('\n')
        }

        // Read the error output (if any)
        var errorLine: String? = null
        while (errorReader.readLine().also { errorLine = it } != null) {
            output.append(errorLine).append('\n')
        }

        // Now 'output' contains the combined output from the Python script
        transcript = output.toString().trim()

        println("Transcript: $transcript")
    } catch (e: Exception) {
        throw e
    }
    return transcript
}

any idea on how to run it ?? even logging of the python script would help.

There is no multiplatform API to run platform executables. You have to do it in the platform-specific part. So if you want to use Runtime.exec you have to do it from the JVM target code.

its happening tho in JVM the actual fun proves that
