I currently have a script that I'm using to update files for me from a couple repositories. The script works fine if I execute it using: python myscript.py However, when I attempt to bundle into an App, it no longer functions correctly because a part of my script requires user input.

Hi, I have a problem mapping the following situation from v1 to v2 of a core data model. In v1 of the model I had an entity named book with an attribute author.
