Calling Python Script for Script Runner (COSMOS 4.5.2)

[charlie-norgaard]

I was reading through some previous posts about this and there doesn't seem to be any definitive answers on whether or not you can call other scripts in COSMOS.

In short, I want to call a Python script for generating HMACs, but it isn't very clear how I would do this. Could I use load_utility and just give the absolute path for my python script, or does this only work for .rb files?

If anyone has any experience with this or any other suggestions please let me know!

For now, COSMOS only supports Ruby as a first class language. You can use the Python API to call COSMOS API methods from Python but note that will not work within Script Runner.

You could call Python from a Ruby script, using system() or backticks, or Popen3, or ChildProcess (Ruby has lots of ways to make system calls).

The script-runner container does not currently contain the python binaries. You would need to rebuild that container to contain python to be able to run it.

Okay. I'll see if I can just convert my Python script into Ruby and then try calling that from ScriptRunner.

I'll probably have more questions soon but thank you for your help!
