How to get e.g. 'alfred_workflow_cache' dir with python?

[Acidham]

I am trying to switch from AS to python and started to migrate some of my workflows. In AS it was easy to get 'alfred_workflow_cache' dir by using shell command. But how can this be achieved with python? I found on danishe page to use os.getenv('alfred_workflow_cache') but it returns None (NoneType) .

 Then you're doing something wrong. Please post the broken workflow, so we can see what it is.

Is it possible because I am using External Script in Script Filter? I am need to run my script on Python3.7 therefore I thought external script will work better. 

 

Attached test wf without using External Script. The issue stays the same

alfred_workflow_cache and alfred_workflow_data

...

Note that these two will only be populated if your workflow has a bundle id set.

 

Your workflow does not have a bundle ID, so they're not populated.
