Have developed / operationalized a clinical interview and use Python / RC2 to extract the results and post-process them into a plain text format that I then copy / paste into an electronic health record. Works reasonably well. Useful.

Is there a way to automatically execute my Python post-processing script when the patient completes the survey? The patient's token number would have to be passed to the script.

Hi David,

What about the built-in "endurl" function to trigger a redirection to your python script (or any intermediate php script if necessary)?

www.limesurvey.org/manual/URL_fields#End_URL_field

Note that you can dynamically access {SAVEDID} & {TOKEN} values in the completed message/page , so you can use several other redirect methods like AJAX calls or meta refresh redirection:

Will let you know how it works.

Am a fair novice still with website design / management (knowledge has exploded much faster over the decades than I can learn it as a clinical professional), but got the "End URL" Python script to work via CGI.

"https://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/Psychiatric%20Diagnostic%20Interview%20Print.py?urltoken={TOKEN}"

Had to read up on how to configure the Python scripts to run via CGI (URLs below.) I now know there are options other than CGI, and I don't know all the security ramifications, but this will all be run only within the walls of a LAN. No WAN use. Am just trying to make it work.

I set the following:

• Survey properties -> Edit survey text elements and settings -> Presentation & navigation -> Automatically load URL when survey complete = "On"

Links helpful to me for this:

• Python webservers
• Python CGI
• simple example (from Python.org)
• Codepoint Tutorial

Hi David,

thank you for your feedback & links. I'm glad to see that you get all your system working now.

Really nice and useful LS use case!

Hi David,

Did you know if PHP have another way to 'knock' a python script ? PHP exec is always disable for security purpose but maybe another solution.

Else : you can call the same line directly in PHP using www.limesurvey.org/manual/AfterSurveyComplete and curl.

Some example of php script : framagit.org/SondagePro-LimeSurvey-plugi...enByResponse.php#L58
You just need the public function afterSurveyComplete()
and put a curl

Quickly done (not tested)
