Running in Pythonista 3 on iPad. Installed all the dependencies using the Stash add-on for Pythonista.

Thanks for the report :)

It seems like the library doesn't support this type of variable. Probably your shortcut contains some specific variable like "Shortcut input" or "clipboard" etc.
If you could share the extension (if it doesn't include any sensitive information), it would be helpful.

Also, I just released a new version (0.9.1), it should print in the exception which type it can't parse, it will help too:

shortcuts.exceptions.UnknownWFTextTokenAttachment: Unknown token attachment type: ExtensionInput

[Alexander Akhmetov]

I'm closing this issue, for now, please, reopen it if you will have the same KeyError: 'VariableName' with 0.9.1.
And about unsupported features of shortcuts: create a new issue, please, if you need this library to support some action or variable.

Thanks :)
